current repair disk would repair it but I am afraid the proggies would be messed up ( happened once b4 ) I wonder if the repair disk can be edited not to restore the registry just find the %systemroot%

ZOTAB is a problem and could be yours. I'd slave it and scan.
Wouldn't that be easier then wiping and installing?
If it was the problem? If that didn't work and the drive *is* reliable - you can always see if the Win2K disc you have can repair it.

can not get in to do that unless I slave it in another box ( doable) and I ( shame on me ) have never gotten around to making a pe disk.

have a w2k box that is erroring on boot ( some kernel not found or what not.
no current repair disk and the cd can not find the OS, even though the console can ( has been a problem in the past with w2k) have ran chkdsk /r twice which has worked in the past with no luck, also the normal fixboot and fixmbr.
anyway to force the repair process to see the darn %systemroot% ?
right now leaning towards wipe and re install, his data is backed up to another drive.
shame upgrade can not be done from boot. :'(
thanks
