I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to do a restore on windows 2000 professional.Ialso have some corrupted files to be taking care of and don't know how to do that either because my internet will not work and wondering if there is another way to do it?

You might want to try a repair install.

You will first need to create an Emergeny Repair Disk.

Perhaps some more detail would help...

Why do you think you need to do a restore?

What media do you have to do a restore? (Windows CD, OEM CD, no CD)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
If your current windows can boot to safe mode (F8 key when starting) then you can fix corrupted files by selecting: Start > Run > type CMD and press Enter, then type: CHKDSK /F (and press Enter)
If you get a message that the computer needs to reboot then do so.

Next, (repeat steps given above if necessary to get to command box) type: SFC /SCANNOW (and press Enter, note the double N's is correct)
If you get a message that the computer needs to reboot then do so.
You need the CD to perform this part if corrupt files need to be replaced.
