How in the blue hell do you load the file if you can't boot? LOL Forgive me if its too early for me, but the article says you can check all pc's on a network. If you can't boot the pc, how can it be on the network. No safemode from what I hear, so please enlighten me on how to load it. I have a really good friend that has an AMD that I custom built for him and I may need to load this on there. Hehe

This tool is designed to be run on machines before SP3 is installed.
