Win2KSP4
A user accidentally started the install of a new video driver then rebooted
the system in the middle of the process, thus corrupting the VGA video
drivers for Win2K.
Upon restart the receive the error:
stop 0x000000B4
Cannot start in Safe Mode, VGA Mode and Last Known Good does nothing.
None of the following support documents address the problem.

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=240369
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;319120
Of course reinstalling Windows would fix the problem but completely wipe out
all the My Documents and every installed program. This would result in a
several hour job to reinstall everything and is NOT a viable option until
there is absolutely no hope of anthing else working.
I have been able to install a 2nd copy of Win2K and can now access all the
files on the system.
QUESTION: Is there *any* way to copy, move, merge, etc the video files,
drivers, settings, etc. from the new installation of Win2K into the old one?
