Stupidly ... I installed CD-ROM drivers from a Windows 98 startup floppy. I musta did something wrong. When I restarted the system, I no longer had Windows 2000 and there's a line on the screen that sez:

C:\>_

It's looking for something I know nothing about. How do I get my Windows 2000 back??? Thanks.

P.S. I'm also posting this on the Windows 98 forum

Can the system boot from your Win2000 cd? (Enter the Bios Setup at power on by pressing the key that the banner message asks for, and in one of the first menus, change the boot order to boot from the CDROM first). I suppose it couldn't hurt to run the "repair" option. You seem to be booting into DOS at the moment. I'm assuming you're trying to maintain a multiple boot system with DOS/Win98/Win2000?

I'll check back in the morning. . . just a bit exhausted right now.
