Win2kpro can't start (.........\Drivers\ntfs.sys error ) so tried a repair install.
Insatlled win2k into a new folder named WINNT.alt. Afterwards I installed the
OS to a different folder named WINNT2.
Boot to OS CD. Accept EULA (F8), select R (repair). Windows deleted files and then
copied files. System rebooted, got windows 2000 GUI, with message at bottom saying
'Windows 2000 is starting up'. Black console screen then appears with message at
top saying 'Setup is being restarted........ '
OS CD spin then stop. Got greyish console screen which stayed on and setup didn't
restart. Rebooted, went to win2k setup, repair console, and did chkdsk /r. Restarted
and got same result.
The hdd has two Windows folders WINNT and WINNT2. The 1st has a lot of folders and
files like a normal system. WINN2 has only 2 folders, system and system32. system
is empty, system32 has folders config, drivers, os2, ras and spool. os2 has a dll
folder which is empty, spool has a drivers folder which is empty. The other system32
folders are empty.
Should I delete WINNT2?
I don't see the WINNT.alt folder that was created. Why can't Win2k Setup restart?
