Do you have the Win 2000 CD? If so, go into the BIOS and set the boot sequence to CDROM first, put the Win 2000 CD in and reboot.
When setup starts, it will give you the option to repair existing installation, choose that.
Just a side note:
Even if you could not get your system to boot up, your data would still be retrievable by removing your hard drive and hooking it up as a slave on another working PC. If the file system on your Win 2000 hard drive is NTFS, you would not be able to put it into a Win 95 or 98 PC, because they won't recognize the file system.
Good Luck

repair win2k installation
set your bios to boot from cd and use your win2k disk to repair installation..
you'll keep all youyr files but may need to install your drivers and settings again

I have same the problem, on my other computer, where it has happened twice. I don't what causes it (any ideas or solutions would be appreciated)but I came to the conclusion that the only way to get round this without reformatting the harddrive is to, as suggested above, use the set-up function on the Win2k disk, but the repair function seems ineffectual. Instead you have to re-install windows 2000 for it to have any effect. The advantage is that it will get your pc working again with all of your old files but many programs don't function, and need to be re-installed as the registry has been completely changed. If there are any alternate solutions or suggestions as to why this happens, or how the files get corrupted please let me know so I can try to avoid doing so in the future.
Thanks
ps. I seem to have been using alcohol 120% programs on both occasions prior to my last functional shutdown, could this be anything to do with it?

Did you try hitting F8 and booting into safe mode? or last known good ? I had this problem at work as well, in the BIOS I tuned on the BIOS option ACPI, it's some power option...

I think you have a hardwear issue.
Check to make sure everything is seated good. your memory video cards processor should all be seated good.
A screw may have backed out and is shorting on something. Make sure your screws are tight, but don't over tighten them. You can crack the board.
does your memory count O.K. ?
some machines count the memory before booting.
if not try to boot with one chip in and switch them to see if your RAM is bad. you could use some from another computer as well. as long as it is the same type.
try putting the video card in from your other computer. then booting it.
just go through and eliminate every hard ware possiblity. could be a bad processor. make sure it is seated good.
good luck. |

I believe the boot record is corrupt, you may need to Press F8 upon booting and boot to a command prompt. Type the following very carefully:
format /mbr |

I'm also facing similar issues in Win2K. I also have a Linux 9.0 on another partition and I'm able to boot using Linux. Let me know is there anything I can do using Linux to repair Win2K setup? |

Do you have the Win 2000 CD? If so, go into the BIOS and set the boot sequence to CDROM first, put the Win 2000 CD in and reboot. When setup starts, it will give you the option to repair existing installation, choose that option.
Choose 1 for C:\WINNT\
Then type in the password for administrator and run the following command:
chkdsk /r /p
And see if this helps:) It did for me! |

I have the same problem in Windows2000 server (sp4), a fresh install, Asus P4V8X-X with 2 x 160 gig drives, and 512ddr memory. I have tested drives and cable, checked event logs, verified all components seated properly, simply can not figure this one out! |
Re: Windows 2000 keeps rebooting by Anonymous Ghost on June 27th, 2005 12:45:17 PM
I too have the same reboot problem. I was burning a CD when the BSD appeared. From then on, infinite Win2K professional reboot loop. The RAM cound of 512 is ok --- but bad isn't neccesarily diagnosable using just the BIOS test. I tried rebooting with my network, sound, and modem cards removed .. same problem. I really really think it's either the RAM or my HD. I already changed the CMOS battery.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks!
