Boot the CD-Rom if possible. If you need to create the setup disks, they can be created from your Win2k CD-rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the cd-rom and execute makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the prompts.
Boot.ini may now be incorrect. Try creating a boot disk. For the floppy to successfully boot Windows 2000 the disk must contain the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on a Windows 2000 machine, not a DOS/Win9x, so the NT boot sector gets written to the floppy), and copy Windows 2000 versions of ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini to it. Edit the boot.ini to give it a correct ARC path for the machine you wish to boot. Below is an example of boot.ini. The default is to start the operating system located on the first partition of the primary or first drive (drive0). Then drive0 partition 2 and so on.
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"
Another possibility is to try loading the controller driver also from floppy. For the floppy to successfully boot Windows 2000 the disk must contain the "NT" boot sector. Format a diskette (on a Windows 2000 machine, not a DOS/Win9x, so the "NT" boot sector gets written to the floppy), then copy ntldr, ntdetect.com, and boot.ini to it. Edit the boot.ini to give it a correct ARC path for the machine you wish to boot.
In order for this to work you'll want to change the arc path in boot.ini from multi syntax to scsi syntax to indicate that Windows 2000 will load a boot device driver and use that driver to access the boot partition. Then also copy the correct manufacturer scsi driver to the floppy but renamed to ntbootdd.sys
Something like this below;
[boot loader]
timeout=10
default=scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,1"
scsi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 0,2"
scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,1"
scsi(0)disk(1)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 1,2"
In order to start the RC you will need to boot the Windows 2000 setup disks or CD-Rom and *F6* very early and very important (at setup is inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive controller detection, and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2000 driver for your drive's controller in drive "A"

Thank you Mr. Patrick for taking the time to answer my post.
What was done to cause this, I have no idea since it happened not while I
was using the computer. The computer was off, I turned it on and it went
straight to the blue screen. As far as the controller I'm using, it's a SATA
controller. I tried starting the computer with the win2000 install cd but it
still showed the same blue screen. I wouldn't know how to create a set of set
up floppys, it will be greatly appreciated if you could tell me how to do
that. Thanks a lot for your help.
