If you can obtain an installation CD for your version of Windows 200, Professional or Home, you can do a repair installation which shouldn't affect your data.
The link below will take you to a web site with instructions for the repair installation.

One other thing you can try would be to install the hard drive in another computer as a Slave Drive and see if you can access your data that way. If you can, transfer the data which you want to save to an external storage device.

Somehow I have now got a username and password box to log into windows 2000. It has aspnet as the user. I have never set a password and do not do programming so I want this removed. But I cannot get into the computer . It will not let me get into safe mode either. I do have a dual boot system. It is windows 2000 and windows ME. I am able to get windows ME loaded fine but not windows 2000. Can someone help me? I have check users in Me and nothing there that would suggest aspnet. I have went to uninstall Microsoft net. framework in ME but it will not let me for some reason. Thanks!
