My win2k system gave me this error this morning and will
not boot even into Safe mode:

STOP: C0000218 {Registry file Failure}the registry cannot
load the hive (file) \System Root\System32
\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate.

This and a similar error have appeared twice in the past
6 weeks or so. The error prior to this one (which I am
still recovering from - i.e. reinstalling software and
data from backups) was:

"STOP: C0000263 {Driver Entry Point Not Found} The
\SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\DLKRTS.sys device driver
could not locate the entry point InterlockedPopEntrySList
in driver ntoskrnl.exe"

At any rate, does anyone have ideas for me? I'm
beginning to think my HD (approx 3 yrs old may be going
bad on me, though a thorough scan shows no problems.

Thank you for any suggestions!
