yes and no, it is not the same as windows 9x
go into the help in windows 2000 and under the index and type system recovery, it gives you a lot of info on how and what.

Thank you. But to clarify, does Win2k have the same System Restore feature like WinME and Win XP has ?

No. Win 2000 Pro does not have the System Restore feature that WinMe and Win XP has. This feature(similar to the Win 98 GO Back feature) was first launched in WinMe and later applied to the XP operating system but was not included in Win 2000. If needed, you can put in the W2K disc and run the repair feature but it will not repair corrupted or lost program files which you have installed. Similary, the Registry can can be restored to the 'Last Known Good Configuration' by hitting the F8 key upon startup. But agian, not knowing your situation, it will roll back the OS to a good known state but not repair lost or corrupted files that have been installed. I hope this answers your question. If it does not, please post again with more information. Good Luck.
