W2K BSOD issue, now not booting

[wolfhound]

Yesterday I experienced a Blue Screen of Death that I have not seen before. It indicated it was dumping physical memory and that if this was the first time it had happen then reboot the computer.

Well, I tried to reboot without success. The progess bar fills up and then the hard drive stays idle for about two minutes. Then it blinks every thirty seconds or so.

So, with Ultimate boot disk I checked the memory and hard drive. Both checked good. I attempted to repair W2K via the original OS CD without success.

I have given into the fact that I will most likely have to re-install the OS. If I can avoid it I am willilng to try some other options. If I try to recover from a ghost image will it format the hard drive and then install the image?

Any suggestions on what my nest step should be?

Thanks.

yes ghost wipes a hard drive and then puts on the new image, unless the new versions actually resize partitions, i wouldnt count on it though, as for the problems did you put any other hardware in, i find that win2k is much less tolerant of hardware changes than winxp is
