When I try to boot up, I see the Win2000 logo and splash screen then get a blue screen. I goes by too quickly to see the full error message. It is something about unable to load systemroot/system32/config/software. I assume that the registry is corrupt. I have not installed anything is a while or have done anything else that would have affected the registry. (The drive has been running pretty hot the last few days, so maybe it is a machanical failure.)
Anyway, I tried coming up in safe mode and tried to go to the last known good configuration -- same problem. I tried booting up with the recover disks, but that just boot Win98 and have few utilites none of which are of any use.
I have another Win2000 Server on the LAN. I tried to set the machine to do a network boot which it did but it could not find the other server. Is there something I need to do to the other server to allow the dead server to boot off of it?
Any other ideas on how to fix the registry or even how to boot up?
