Re: Login 2000 Problems

Attach that drive as a slave on some other boootable machine and copy/move the data you need.

Pegasus,

The machine was never really part of network that I know of. I bought it 1998 from a dell outlet store and upgraded in 2001 or 2002 to windows 2000, which I installed. I had not used the machine in years and just fired it up yesterday to retrieve some old data that I needed. It was working fine but I was having problems with Outlook so I installed an old version I had for 1998 and now I get this error message.

Is there anyway to bypass this login screen? I was able to boot the computer off of a boot disk and get to the dos prompt but I'm not sure what to do now...

Thanks again for your help.

Win2000? When? How did you acquire it?

restart.  I've tried it in safe mode but same thing happens..what else can

I have an old machine that is running on win 2000 professional. It 

was

working fine but now when I start the machine I get this message when 

I

try

to Logon:

"The system cannot log you on now because the domain G27WG is not 

available"

This is new...and I can't get past this login screen.

Any ideas how I can fix this?

Thanks 

Click the "Options" button, then open the domain drop down box.
You will now have the option to log on to the G27WG domain or
to the local machine. If you do not have a local account/password
then you must get in touch with the administrator of the network
that forms part of the G27WG domain. He/she will be able to assist
you.
