Help, I have a similar problem. I upgraded my motherboard and processor and installed
XP. My c drive somehow partitioned both. XP works fine but when I try to boot to
win 2k it gives me the blue screen of death. I booted from my 2k cd and chose the
emergency repair. It said it had been done and restarted my computer but when I
tried to boot to 2k the same thing happened. My d drive is just for files and games
and my e drive is the cd rom. Any ideas on what to do?
