My system won't boot up at all not even in safe mode. I
never created an emergency repair disk. Am trying some
recovery console stuff but have a question.
1) Can I create an ERD from recovery console?
2) Can I use an ERD from another computer?

Thanks,
Steve
 
What message do you get when you boot?

You can still try to boot and use the REPAIR option, but that is sketchy (in
my experience). Also, you could try a "layover". Or install 2k to a new
folder so you can salvage your data.
