Need Help with an error on Windows 2000 Professional

[Aprentice08]

Hi all,

I need help figuring out an error that I'm getting on my pc, OS Windows 2000 professional Service Pack 4

the error that I'm getting is this one..." THERE IS NO DISK IN THE DRIVE PLEASE
INSERT A DISK INTO THE DRIVE \DEVICE\HARDDISK1\DR1 " them I have three options
CANCEL...TRY AGAIN...CONTINUE.

At first I try to do a CHKSDSK on my C drive by choosing safe mode prompt. according to the results there were no errors found and everything came out good.
But when I reboot the pc the same error pop out and it reeboot it the pc. The pc allow me to go to safe mode with no problem but as soon as I reeboot it, the error comes out...now, I did some troubleshooting and found that if I disconnect the internet cable from my pc I get the error but when I press cancel the OS comes out
allowing me to go to windows 2000, as soon as I plug the cable in the  computer the OS shuts down and start rebooting in a loop.    

Any ideas??? I don't want to reinstalled windows 2000 again. I think there's must be a way to fix this problem without reinstalling windows 2000.

Thank you.

Have you tried uninstalling the modem in the control panel?

Edit: Perhaps the time has come to close the thread or move it to off topic..... (sorry copy and pasted this in by mistake was using spell checker)

And you are getting this THERE IS NO DISK IN THE DRI... error when you start up or when you try and access your disc drive ?

Let's wait and see if he has tried this first...that modem may be fried.

I'm not using a modem, this is a DSL connection, I'm using an Ethernet card.... you guys think that might be the problem??

I believe so as you stated that after doing some troubleshooting you were able to get to a Windows screen with the internet connection out.
Keep it unplugged for now and run chkdsk /r on that hard drive and re-boot. and see if things improve.

If so a brand new NIC card is only 10 or 15 bucks...

Got it!! I'll do a chkdsk /r and see what happends...Thanks for the advice.
