W2K will not Startup

All was working well. I shut down my Win2k machine last night normally, but when starting up this morning the following occurs:

It starts to boot; I get the windows splash screen and the blue progress marker goes all the way to the right. Then the following error pops up on a black (clear) screen:
Quote:
STOP: c0000218 {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the Hive (file): \Systemroot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate. It is corrupt, absent, or not writable.
The PC then restarts and the process repeats itself.

This PC is dual-boot (W2k / W98) and I can start W98 normally.

Any help is appreciated..... TIA
