Well... you could try doing a manual repair of the W2K boot files as I've
done too many times in the past couple of days dealing with W98/W2K Int13
extensions problems (more on the angst-ridden ordeal later):
If you feel brave, you could try runing the W2K setup and:
Screen 1 - Win2000 installation:
--------------------------------------------
1. To install W2K press ENTER
2. To repair existing W2K OS press R
3. To quit press (F3)
Select option 2 and go to Screen 2:
------------
1. To repair W2K using Recovery Console press C
2. To repair W2K using emergency repair process press R
Select option 2 and go to Screen 3:
------------
1. For manual repair process press M
2. For fast repair process press F
Select option 1 and go to Screen 4:
------------
1. [X] Inspect startup environment
2. [ ] Verify Windows system files
3. [X] Inspect Boot Sector
Clear the X from option 2 and go to Screen 5:
------------
1. If you have a W2K Emergency Repair Disk press ENTER
2. If you want don't have an ERD press L and setup will attempt to locate
for you.
If your have an ERD it's quick. Option 2 goes the route of scanning your
drive for W2K installations.
Option 1 take you to Screen 6
------------
Insert ERD into drive A: and press ENTER
Screen 7:
------------
1. To have Setup examine the drives for W2K installation files press ENTER
2. To skip drive examination press ESC
Both options worked for me (yes... I've done this a few times #@&^%#!
---------------------
Matt ...continuing saga to come
