and make sure that it has the apropriate settings for
your hard disk. If this does not get you further, try this:
- Format a floppy disk on some other Win2000 PC.
Don't do it on a Win9x PC - it won't work.
- Copy these files from the \i386 folder of your Win2000 CD
to A:\
ntldr
ntdetect.com
- Create a file a:\boot.ini with these lines
[Boot Loader]
Timeout=3
Default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[Operating Systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000

- Boot the machine with this floppy
Now report what you see.

NeoLeoX said:just after I made what you told me I could access to my PC and I noticed
that I lost all the contents of my Drive C:
then I decided to start a re-installation of the w2k and I choose the option
leave the file system intact...
after that, the w2k setup program makes a "drive inspection" and boots my
pc....
When it comes back... all may stuff was there...
like nothing had happened
do you have an idea what happened?...
how could I avoid run into this problem?...
Gee... I really got scared!!
thanks
