 on my laptop I made with my Win2000 cd-rom the 4 setup diskettes (makeboot.exe) and did the setup on my pc. Followed the instructions on the screen. But after the 4th dikette I get a blue svreen with the message:
Stop: c0000221 Ubknown hard Error
\systemRoot\system32\ntdll.dll
and the instructions to disable newly installed hardware or software, to disable memory options (I don't know wich, how?) to use safe mode, to remove disable components, restart in the safe mode. But nothing works pressing F8 for the safe mode works. Restarting the computer ( only possible with the reset button) I get again:
NTLDR is missing
press any key to restart and again and again after pessing any key
restarting with c-a-d and again: NTLDR is missing
I made a diskette with
boot.ini
NTLDR
and ntdetect.com
but I don'nt know wat to fill in in the boot.ini
I did try different partitions such as:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
Default= scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\winnt

[operating systems]
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\winnt="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional"

The computer starts up givinge my the choise to choose a system but the only choise I have is Win2000 and than I get the message in a black screen:
Win2000 could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration peoblem. Could not read from the selected disk. Check boot path and sisk hardware. etc.

What now?
