Windows Server 2000 will not boot.

[Guest]

When the server trys to boot I get the 0x000000051
registry error. I tried to bbot from disk, "setup did not
find any hard disks drived installed on your computer".
However they are installed and recognized in the BIOS. I
also tried to set up, new install, still get the same
error message "no hard disk installed". What should I do.
I cannot download the hard drive diagnostic program on
disk, manufacture suggest download to computer, but it is
impossible when I cannot get it to load.

"Please help!!!"

If the disk is damaged/dead you cannot get the first error (registry
error). If the disk is not dead you should not get the second error
(no disk). Confused.

You tried to boot form the original OS CD?

You need the diagnostics bootable diskette from the HDD manufactuere.
Can't you get on whatever computer you are sending from.

Can also pull plug, open case and reseat the HDD cables. Might help.
