Stop Error 67 CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

[Guest]

I'm getting a stop error 67 CONFIG_INITIALIZATION_FAILED, when trying to boot
my Windows 2000 Server. Booting into any kind of mode does not work. Safe
Mode, Last known good config, etc. No new hardware changes have been made.

I had Dell come out and replace the motherboard and its RAM.

I searched the web, and I found an MSDN article
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d..._aefc0019-d99a-4883-9be8-5300729363b4.xml.asp)
saying that this message should never happen.

I found that somewhat humourous since it is happening. No resolution is
given though.

If the system hive has ballooned beyond its limits, what can I do to fix it.


Any help is appreciated,

I've replaced the RAM and its motherboard with new ones. We ran Dell
diagnostic utils, and they came back as all good.

There is no option to disable RAM caching or shadowing in the bios.

What's next?

Have you tried doing a repair installation (or a parallel new install)?
