Hello


While you boot up your system, are you able to see the message 'Press F8 for ... (I forgot the rest)'?

If yes, then press F8, choose the Console, and then type CHKDSK (the ScanDisk for W2k and up).

If no, then boot from your W2k original CD, then take the repair option


I hope that will help you.
