dun't scare me-----oooooh yuck!!!

The only thing I can think of  I installed a new graphic card a few months
or so  ago-- ATI Radeon  64 MB DDR memory AGP 4x/2x version it had  a driver
for the windows 2000 and I upgraded the memory  the time before this happen
I had the original configuration and it did it also --  I couldn't get into
F8 -- The only way this time again I could get in with the bootable disk
from win me.  Jackie

Hi Jackie

Your ERD is not bootable. You boot with your boot
disks not to boot into Windows 2000 but to boot up
your computer so that it can read your Windows 2000 CD
in your CDROM Drive. Then you can install your Win2000
OS or do a repair. You can use the Recovery Console in
your CD ROM to repair your system.

Or you can boot from your CDROM and hit R to repair
when prompted when you run setup. In the Repair
Options dialog box press C to start the Recovery
Console. You'll be prompted for your admin password.
You can then troubleshoot from there.

By the way what happened? Did you install anything
that could cause this behaviour? A new adapter? New
driver?

Next time you find that you can't boot into Win2000
after installing a new driver or upgrading a driver,
restart your computer and hit F8 to get into the
Advanced Options menu and choose Last Known Good
Configuration. In most cases it would work.
Alternately you can boot to safe mode to remove
whatever driver you had installed and replace it with
your old working one if you know that's what is
causing your problem.

When all options in the Advanced Options menu don't
work, then the last option is Panic! §:^P
