Try running scandisk from the bootdisk. Otherwise you will need to format and start over. Or try this question on the 2000 forum. Iain.

Sorry. Start the computer with the bootdisk already in the A:\ drive and type:
A:\>scandisk /all when you get there. Also try A:\>scanreg /restore and see if there 
is a date before the install to restore too. Iain.
