icons of some system files are shown grey

[aa]

My w2k installation suddenly collapsed throwing a blue window with white
text say "dumping physical memory".
It would not boot.
I have another physical HD on that computer with another w2k on it. I made
this second drive to boot from. I now can boot into the second w2k, but
still cannot boot into the first one. When I look into the root directory of
the first w2k I noticed that icons for some system files, including NTLDR
and NTDETECT.COM are greyed.
What does this mean?
Does this have to do with the booting problem?

Nothing and no. You might start here.
