.
Yes - Use your Windows 2000 Pro disk - choose install -

then choose repair. Before you do this 1. have boot
disk 2. have you CD-Rom firmwarm updated if possible or
3. copy a I386 folder from a Windows 98 or Windows 95
disk to a 31/2 disk. The resesons for 1,2 and 3 are
because if your CD-ROM does not catch the reboot just
right you get an error 'Load Disk 2' NO Disk 2 for file
I386? error NT5inf.cat
