I mount the W2K CD, select repair option and then get a dialog box
indicating "Existing software was not fully installed" before W2k repair
even get going. Hitting details tells me the following:

Microsoft Windows 2000 has detected software that is not completely
installed on your computer. Windows 2000 Setup cannot continue until you
finish installing this software.

To finish the installation process for this software

Quit Windows 2000 Setup.
Log off of your computer and then log back on again.
After you log on, a program will start immediately; allow it to complete.
Restart Windows 2000 Setup.

I've tried this several times but no success.

Any advice here on where the problem might be.
 
What are you repairing? Does the OS start?

I ended up punting on this one. This is my 2nd partition OS I use when beta
testing. Ended up restoring from a backup of a couple weeks ago (to make
sure I cleared recent problems) and all is ok now.
