When the 2000 screen apear the loading bar gets about 3 quarters across and

BSOD appears. It mentions about a virus and says run CHDSK /F.

 

How can I fix this? I really need the files on the laptop for work. I got

the laptop from a friend but it does not have a 2000 disk with it.

 

I have gone to bootdisk. com and downloaded 4 disks and 2 .exe files. These

are currently on my memory stick. The laptop doesn't have a floppy drive do I

need to put these files on a CD?

 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Here are a few options:

- Try booting in Safe Mode, by pressing F8 early during the boot phase.

- Boot the machine with a Bart PE boot CD (http://www.bootdisk.com),

then copy the files to a flash disk.

- Remove the disk, then install it in an external USB case so that you

can access your files on some other PC.

 

This would be a good time to review your backup policy.

In a robust installation, important files always reside on at

least two independent media.

You should be able to copy the files from the memory stick to your laptop by

using the USB port. Did you try to run the CHDSK /F from the Start and then

run area?

Re: Win 2000 pro won't boot

 

Thanks for your response. I should have mentioned that it BSOD's even in safe

mode, infact every option I select from the F8 menu just BSOD's.

 

BART PE requires a Windows 2000 installation disk which I don't have. I'm

currently searching and asking people if they could lend me their copy but

not many home users seem to run win 2000.

 

Is there anything else I could try in the meantime?

 

Thanks

Re: Win 2000 pro won't boot

 

This is incorrect. A Bart PE boot CD requires a WinXP

Professional CD. There should be lots of those around.

Thanks, I have a XP OEM PC at home. Would the recovery disk from this work?

 

Thanks

Re: Win 2000 pro won't boot

 

It does not matter what you have at home. What matters

is that you need a WinXP Professional CD. The emphasis

is on "CD"!

 

Manufacturing the Bart PE CD can take you anything

between half an hour and three hours, depending on you

level of skill and experience. Removing the disk might

be a quicker option.

Re: Win 2000 pro won't boot

 

So if I remove the disk from the laptop, how would I make it work on my XP PC

and how would I get the files?

 

Do I need a cable? Won't the error on the disk just appear the same as on

the laptop?

 

Sorry about all the questions, i have never done this before as you can

probably tell.

 

Thanks for taking the time to respond and your help.

I answered your question in my very first reply. Which

part is it that you find unclear?
