Of course, if he only wants to bypass those first four or so sectors, he might get by with a little juggling. I assumed that, but without the broader knowledge and long experience of a professional tech, I suspect he would never have been able to create the image from a damaged disc when it is in such a state that it will not boot.
The average high end user still does not have the types of drives and setup necessary to copy or create an ISO image from a damaged disc. Most optical drives nowadays, when used with Roxio, Nero, Record Now, or Sonic still scan the entire disc and refuse to act if their scan picks up damage anywhere You need a copier that does bit by bit transfers. There is software that will help do that, but is very time consuming.

Microsoft has dropped most support for W2K as of September, I, too, am one of those stubborn people who likes Windows Professional I will still provide a disc to Jaseemkannur, if he assures he has the product ID Not that I like to beat a dead horse, but how on earth do you know my level of experience??

All the negative response towards Windows Me usually stems from the press pushing this narrative onto people, but also that it introduces a new driver model that people upgrading from previous versions of 9x had incompatible drivers for similar situation to Windows Vista's launch , but overtime, better drivers were written to fully work with Me.
There's also other reasons for its reception like removal of MS-DOS mode which can be brought back with a patch , and initially buggy System Restore. Otherwise, its a pretty solid system if you run it on appropriate hardware with enhancements that often get overlooked, and in some ways an improvement over Windows 98 especially the gold release.
