Too bad you didn't mention that ealier. You don't need System Commander...and
I'll wager thats what is causing the problem relating to your 'inaccessible boot
drive' error. Windows 2000 has a built in boot loader to handle the dual boot for
you. I've never played with System Commander myself...I almost did once but then
realized it was a waste of my time if NT/2000 has built in dual boot capabilities.
But if you uninstall System Commander, and then reinstall 2000 over top of itself
you can 'repair' it. That is to say, when reinstalling win2k over itself you get
a "repair existing" option....just pick that and let it run. Note: you'll have to
reinstall the service pack after.
