Dear John,
Thanks a lot for the good lead.
I downloaded the BBIE10.zip and unzipped to obtain bbie.exe file.
Then copied it to C:\. From Command Prompt I executed it by typing
C:\bbie E:
What I got is a file named image1.bin in the root directly. But, in order to burn bootable slipstream CD (with Nero), the image file must be Microsoft Corporation.img. Right? So I am confused and need your help again. Could you tell me where I did wrong?

Thanks for useful suggestions.
I considered to make a slipstream CD as DL suggested. I used the method described by www.eldergreek.com. The first two steps were easy. But I don't have ISO Buster and, if I want to buy, it wll cost me $30+S&H. Is there any other way to extract Microsoft Corporation.img from CD even if it will take some work?

Under the circumstances where Windows (2000 Pro) cannot get up, there is nothing I can do using the OS itself.
Anyway, it is predictable that the customers who bought Win2K and thereafter upgraded to SP4 will eventually develope a problem and need to repair the system. I wish the SP4 package(CD version) included a feature for repair the upgraded system. (I had downloaded full version of SP4 that does not involve internet.)

I installed W2K on a HDD and then upgrated to SP4.
My question is:
When the OS developed some problem and requires repair, can the original CD (w/o SP4) be used to repair the OS+SV4 on the disk?
