i'm running win2k on a pII 550 mhz. my computer was working fine and was rebooted many times.Then, quite suprisingly, halfway thru the splash screen it gave me an INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error (blue screen). and before getting this blue screen i did not install any thing at all...and there are no sounds of any kind from any device..in the pc ..well it would be kind if any body could help me to get around with this problem....

thanks

Harddisks have been known to crash (all of a sudden).

Did this happen only once? Did you reboot to see if this would happen again?

Check CMOS for your HDD and make sure the settings are correct for your drive.

... you could also try to load setup defaults again and re-detect your harddisk. If this should help, a weak battery on the board could be the reason for your problems and you can easily replace it.

Neverthelss, Sander might be right when saying your HD just crashed.
