Windows 2000 Pro - PLEASE HELP!!!

[milanlad]

This is what happened and I need some help to fix the problem.

Whilst I was shutting down I had a blue screen crash and therefore I powered down. Upon re-boot up I had a message saying windows could not start as the 'System' file (i think!) was missing or corrupted. It suggested using my Windows 2000 install CD to use the REPAIR option.

I did this but during the process it asked me for a 'System Recovery Disk'. I had an option of using this disk or press 'L' if I didn't have one. As I don't have one I pressed 'L' , but then it said it could not find a version on Windows 2000 on my C: drive and could not repair the problems.

Can anyone help me on this?

Many thanks.

I've also had cases where the repair process doesn't find the Windows 2000 installation directory. My advice is to unplug all the drives but for the one which has the C: partition and try again. In my case, it was quite scary, since the first few times, even after having only one drive hooked up, it still didn't find the directory - I tried twice more before it suddenly found it (Who says trying the same thing more than once won't yield different results? Yes, dodgy, I know. ). Good luck.
