Fixing Errors on Win 2000 Pro

[Ed Dranchak]

Please Help,
I was running Windows 2000 Pro with no problems, THEN, I
was encountering some errors, so I put in the Windows 2000
CD and was running the fix errors option on the CD and
when it was almost finished it was going through the
reboot stage and now it is caught in some kind of loop. It
continues to just reboot and I cant do anything. It comes
up to the point of asking me for the service pack 2 cd ,
which on my cd it says it include service pack 2.

I put it in and nothing happens. the first file it is
looking for is called NT5inf.cat, i copied on from a
different computer and put on a floppy and installed it,
then it comes up looking for NT5.cat, too big for a floppy
so I burned one from another computer, still wont take it,
PLEASE HELP, it almost acts like it wont take any files
from my CD Drive.

It also asks for the windows 2000 cd and when i put it in,
it doesnt do anything. I have been running windows 2000
for over six months the that computer, PLEASE IS THERE
ANYTHING i CAN DO???????
my EMAIL IS (e-mail address removed)
Thanks
