beast103: Okay, so you tried all the steps in that article and nothing worked.
I hate to give you another link to a support site, but I think this goes through all of the steps that you should walk through if you are having startup issues with Windows 2000.

How To Troubleshoot Startup Problems in Windows 2000

Let us know if any of that helped.

thanks, most of these procedures require for the computer to boot up to the desktop. My problem is i can't get on the desktop. I was wondering if there is any kind of registry cleaner or any thing to fix this problem so i can get to the desktop and get past the blue screen.

thanks, A

Can you boot to the command line? If so run chkdsk c: /f. Here is the two reated MS KB aticles. Q176970, 892512.

Hi, when I start my comp it says run chkdsk c: /f.. i jus don't know how to run it when i can't get to my desktop. By the way what is command line.
Thanks, A

Command line is where you boot with a diskette and the black screen with the C: and the flashing _ . You need to boot with the system disk. If you need one you can down load one at BootDisk. All you need is a clean(formatted) floppy. There maybe one you can burn to cd for you system also. Be sure you pick the one for you verison of windows.

ok thank you so all i have to do is download from the link you agve me and find my version. Then go into settings and insert the floppy and hit boot up with a diskette.

Thanks, A

How can I tell which book disk is the right one for my computer. I have a compaq deskpro. the computer i'am using now is my other one.

Thanks, A

You statre in the title you are using Win2000. Download the boot disk for Win2000. When you have made the boot disk start your computer with the floppy in the drive. It will boot from the floppy instead of the hard drive where Win2000 resides.

ok thank you very mcuh for everyones help. I will get back to you with the results as soon as i'am done

Thanks, A

Hi, these setup disks do not work. I'am pretty sure I installed them right. Please if you could tell me which disk is for my computer windows 2000 that would be great. I haven't found the right one. I have a a windows 2000 NT.

Thanks, A

The files under W2k are what you will need. the first five downloads..

Disk1
Disk2
Disk3
Disk4
makeboot.exe | Mirror
makebt32.exe | Mirror

Mirror is a different site to download from if you have trouble with the others.

Here is the link to the page to download from.. http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm

Thank you so much you guys are the greatest. I finally fixed my comp. Thanks alot acklan for the boot disks I really appreciate it. I will deffinately come here first if I have other computer problems.

Thanks again, A

I am glad to see it worked for you. If you have other question please post you topic. Look forward to seeing you again.
Before you know it you will be answering the question

THIS TOPIC IS BACK FROM THE DEAD, PLEASE HELP ME I HAVEN'T HAD MY COMPUTER FOR 3 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!!

I just read this whole post and followed all the instructions, but I have one major problem. My computer doesn't have a floppy drive, how do I go about making the disk from bootdisk.com if I don't have a floppy drive. PLEASE if you have any info that can help me solve this problem I'd appreciate it. The symptoms and system are exactly the same as the Original posters. Thx - Ryan

Here is the CD boot disk.

Thanks for the website but I have to warn you, I am just as computer illiterate (or even worse) than the OP. I'm running windows 2000 pro, and a lot of that website looks like it's written in latin to me. Can you advise me as to which method to use? Thanks for your time and help . - Ryan

Have we done a diagnostic on the hard drive to make certain it's not failing? Sometimes that's been the culprit when I've gotten those kinds of errors.
The Drive Fitness Test will do a full scan of the drive. http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT

I too have a problem with an Inaccessible boot drive.

I have followed all the advice given and have got to the stage where I have loaded the floppy with the boot disk on but from here how do I get to the command line to access it.

Hope someone can help
