Repair the Windows 2000 installation

1. Place the Window 2000 installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Restart your computer.

3. After the computer finishes booting, select the Repair the installation option.

This is the short version of a similar article at http://support.microsoft.com

Has this configuration ever worked?

A look at the boot.ini file on the C: drive could reveal the problem.

Run your repair option from the 2000 cd. It then after completion will provide the dual boot NTLDR menu.
