Boot problem

[zachary]

I am running win2k, and everytime I turn my computer on, everything runs normal. Then after the win2k screen flashes it's loading bar, I get, "inaccessable boot disk". CMOS recongizes my hard drive... but it won't boot. I've tried booting from an older hard drive with an o/s on it, but I get the same error. I don't understand why CMOS would recongize my hard drive, but my computer won't boot from it.

Try starting in safe mode. F8 at the loading bar.

I tried that, and the same result occured.

Can you run hardware diagnostic software on it?
I've never used it but I assume it boots from a floppy.

overlooked trying windows 2k recovery disk, that solved problem. thanks.
