Here goes:

I shutdown my computer last night, (WIN2k PRO) which ws working very fine.

I tried booting this morning, then the Log-in dialogue box appears, the pc
hangs, so I am forced to restart the computer.

After restarting, win2k pro loads about 75% (the blue bar during startup)
and then the blue screen of death shows up. (STOP: Inaccessible Boot
Device...)

I tried researching throughout the net but cant find one that works for my
pc. I didn't install any new hardware or anything nor did i touch or move
any of the hdisks. please help... ;c

Try pressing F8 early during the boot phase, then select Safe Mode
or Last Known Good Configuration. If this does not help then you
may have some file corruption or perhaps a bad cluster on your disk.
Depending on your level of experience, you may ask a repair shop
to examine the PC or maybe try a few things yourself, e.g.
- Run the disk diagnostic program that your disk manufacturer has
on his home site.
- Boot the machine with your Win2000 CD and perform a repair
installation.

Before you attemp to perform any serious repair work you should
make sure that your important data (including your EMail files) are
stored in a safe place away from this PC.
