    I was trying to dock my laptop and mistakenly installed
    the NT docking drivers instead of win 2000 and now the
    system won't boot. It just shows a blue rectangle in the
    center of the screen. I have tried safe mode but it does
    not work. I have tried recovery console and fixboot
    option but it still does not work.

    Any ideas???
