How to restore registry of win2000 server in dual bootable enviornment inorder to boot through win20

[Guest]

Hi
System Details
Hardwareentium iv 1.7 G
Hard disk :80 Gb Single dis
Software
Dual bootable syste
1)First Win98 was installed (c: drive
2)Second Win2000 server was installed (d:drive

Both of them are on different partition, win 2000 is on NTFS converted format

One day I booted through win 2000 server ,after seeing some documents I was trying to shut it down, I did click on start menu and then clicked on "Ok" button for shuting down . After clicking this ,all of a sudden there was power failure ,so before win 2000 could completly shut down the there was power break down.I dont have UPS(uninterrupted power supply
After that I tried to boot through the win2000 server but I couldn't, but when I tried to boot through win98 I was successfull. Since I was not able to boot through win2000 , so I shut down from win98 and restarted it in dos prompt and tried to restore registry and I was able to restore it, but when I restarted it to boot through win2000 it failed again.
when I clicked "F8" for win2000 option I went through the safe mode option,safe mode with dos prompt but with no success,I did try with advance option in win2000 of "last known good configration" but I got struck up at one point ie,within that there is option to select hardware profile/configration, and "return to default configration" or quit. I am bit confused should I revert to default configration or not. I want to make sure before doing it,Since my system is dual bootable and I don't want to loose any information in my win2000 d:drive. If this is not the solution please let me know how I should boot with my win2000 server successfully

Thanks to all of You in advanve

Your post is long on words but it does not provide the
essential details:

- How far does the Win2000 boot process get?
- What message(s) do you get when it stops?
- What exactly do you mean by "restore the registry"?
- Why do you run Win2000 server? Is it a domain
controller?

About your important data: Have you considered backing
it up ***before*** things fall apart, rather than when things
go bad? Fortunately for you, you're safe: You can load ntfsdos
(www.sysinternals.com) while in Win98 to make your
NTFS drive visible.
