Post by: Alax on July 06, 2005, 10:38:00 PM
when i start up my computer with win 2000 it says that a file is corrupted or missing so i decided to format and reinstall win 98 with the cd i got with it so i can start off fresh. but after it finishes i restart the computer and it says it still has win 2000 installed and is still saying it is missing or corrupted my computer has three drives first one has main computer stuff second one has games/music and third one has programs is that a possible reason windows 2000 is staying on the computer for some reason?

What sort of Windows 2000 CD do you have? Is it a full Win 2000 CD or an upgrade?

Do you have a Win 2000 CD with the latest service pack?

Before doing any further work on the drive it would be advisable to safeguard your data by burning it to CDRs.

You can do this using KNOPPIX as the KNOPPIX OS can be run from the CD-ROM drive and comes complete with its own burning program.
