I have a machine running Windows 2000. After a few errors I found myself
doing a repair of Win2K. During the re-install it appears that my video
drops out but the setup continues; judging by hard drive activity. The
problem of course is that I can't see anything so I can't finish the setup.

What I would like to do now is just quit the setup anyway possible.
Everytime I re-boot my stystem it immediately goes to the "Setup is
restarting...." screen and I can't do anything. Any ideas on how to stop
setup from auto launching everytime I boot my PC?

Thanks in advance,

Ian

Hello,

two items come to mind.

Attempt to boot the system from a floppy - access the hard
drive and delete the appropriate entry in the boot ini.

Select F8 during use the Recovery Console to "fix" the mbr.

hope this helps
