Hi, just got a message that my win2k system can't boot because a system file is
either missing or corrupt!
Actually when I boot in Safe Mode, the last 2/3 files to load before it stops are
BOOTVID.DLL,
WINNT\SYSTEM32\Config\system then
WINNT\SYSTEM32\Config\system.alt
I have a stable win2k system for about 2 years now, and it had to happen!
Anyway, I also have winxp and linux mandrake on my PC as a triple boot system,
all managed by LM's boot manager, and because of that I cannot boot from my
win2k CD to do the repair?? I have tried the laboursly (can't spell) slow method
of using floppies, but after the 1st stage and 'setup needed to reboot' I only
got the Linux boot manger screen up again.
Now I don't want to screw my other OS's up by not not been able to boot them, so
what is the best way to repair my win2k system?
Thanks
