The repair process in Windows 2000 has never worked for me without the
EBD but all may not be lost. I have had the same problem (on an
Exchange server!!) You should boot from the Windows CD and choose to
reinstall over the top. You will receive a dire warning that your
program files and my documents will be deleted (in my case they were not
- but no guarantees - and anyway, you *do* back them up remotely don't
you?)
Hope this helps. Good luck.
