Boot with the Windows 2000 CD and launch the Recovery Console

then run these commands:

 

chkdsk /r

 

then do: fixboot

 

Be warned that there is always a risk of data loss when you run chkdsk

on a disk.

 

If it isn't too much to ask, may I ask how did you capture the BSOD?

Which tools/software did you use to capture this? If it's a digital

photo then you did a good job with the photo!

Also try creating a boot disk. For the floppy to successfully boot Windows

2000 the disk must contain the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on a

Windows 2000 machine, not a DOS/Win9x, so the NT boot sector gets written to

the floppy), and copy Windows 2000 versions of ntldr, ntdetect.com, and

boot.ini to it. Edit the boot.ini to give it a correct ARC path for the

machine you wish to boot. Below is an example of boot.ini. The default is to

start the operating system located on the first partition of the primary or

first drive (drive0). Then drive0 partition 2 and so on.

 

[boot loader]

timeout=10

default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT

[operating systems]

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"

 

Another possibility is to try loading the controller driver also from

floppy. For the floppy to successfully boot Windows 2000 the disk must

contain the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on a Windows 2000 machine,

not a DOS/Win9x, so the "NT" boot sector gets written to the floppy), then

copy ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini to it. Edit the boot.ini to give it a

correct ARC path for the machine you wish to boot.

 

In order for this to work you'll want to change the arc path in boot.ini

from multi syntax to scsi syntax to indicate that Windows 2000 will load a

boot device driver and use that driver to access the boot partition. Then

also copy the correct manufacturer SCSI, or ultra DMA, or ATA100, or raid,

or serial ATA driver to the floppy but renamed to ntbootdd.sys

 

Something like this below;

 

[boot loader]

timeout=10

default=scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\winnt

[operating systems]

scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"

scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"

scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"

scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"
