Did you ever make an Emergency Repair Disk?  If so you can use the disk
to try to repair the installation.

If you don't have an ERD you can boot to the Recovery Console and
replace the System hive at C:\WINNT\system32\config with the System hive
from the C:\WINNT\repair folder.  If you have previously made an ERD and
selected to save the registry a copy of the hive will be stored in the
C:\WINNT\repair\RegBack folder, the file in the RegBack folder will be
newer than the one in the Repair folder.

When Windows 2000 is installed a copy of the original (as installed)
registry and its hives is stored in the \WINNT\repair folder, when you
create an Emergency Repair Disk and backup the registry at the same time
a newer copy of the registry is stored in the \WINNT\repair\RegBack folder.
