Windows 2000 won't load!

[Tea]

Hello,

I have three partitions, one is for Windows XP, the other
one is for Windows 2000 and the third one is backup data.

I installed the third one today using PartitionMagic 8.0.
I can use my XP, however my Windows 2000 won't load. When
I select Win2K, it boots into the OS and then goes back
and forth from "Loading Windows 2000" to "Loading your
settings" but it doesn't go into Windows 2000.

How can I fix this?

Any help is appreciated...

When booting up in XP, can you access and read files on the
the W2K partition? Have you tried running chkdsk /f on the
W2K partition?

I don't suppose you have an emergency repair disk, a recent
backup or anything like that?

Partition Magic tech support should be able to help you as
well.
