It happened to me too, I solved by formatting the hard drive and installing the SP2 right after win2000 installation and configuration process.....the idea is install SP2 before install any software.

hi i seem to have solved my problem for now, win2000 seems very touchy about what memory to use i got branded and she was ok - powered down put generic back in and she crashed again. i ended up buying a smart tool called repoman 2.0 from www.diydatarecovery.nl/ this lets u view and edit your mbr (amongst other thigs ,top program although deep)you can also get "mbrtool" free from the net. the drive seems fine the systems streaming along -and another satisfied customer. thanks for all your thoughts :-)
