Recently my laptop has started to intermittently freeze on
bootup, so i ran the w2k cd and asked it to perform an
emergency repair. During this is brought up about twenty
error messages saying:
"The following value in the .SIF file that setup uses is
corrupt or missing.
Value 0 on the line in section [sourcediskfiles] with
key "lsysmain.sdb"
Setup was unable to copy the file."

The error message came up lots of times with different
file names all within the .SIF. Has anyone seen this
before or knows a fix?
Thanks for any help.
 
Hi Rachael,

I suggest you

0. Boot from the Win2000 CD and run the repair.
-or-
1. Run: sfc /scannow
-or-
2. Run/rerun the Win2000 Sp4 installation
-or-
3. Format and reinstall Win2000.
