Last time I had problems with W2000 startup, I uninstalled
recent Microsoft software updates, and somewhere along the
line was asked, Did I want Windows to troubleshoot the
system itself and if so, would I please insert the Windows
2000 disks? I did so, and to my great surprise the problem
was fixed.

Now I've got another start-up problem. But I can't for
the life of me figure out, how I got to the point, where I
was prompted to insert disks so that Windows would itself
re-install the defective portions of the operating system
software.

Anyone got any idea? To judge by the Microsoft Windows
2000 Help files, this magic solution just doesn't exist.
But I used it!
 
I've not done it myself, but if you put the cD in the CD drive and restart
the PC you will (very briefly) get the message:
Press any key to boot from CD. I think if you then press 'any key' this may
give you the options you
need.
Evi
