2000 Boot Problem
Hello, I keep having a problem with an IBM laptop. It has 2000 pro on it, and it was brought to me with a virus. Used AVG to get rid of it. said it had to reboot. ever since, it will not boot. goes to the win2k screen, then right before the icons load, it says 'login unexpectedly terminated' then restarts the same thing again. I can get into bios, but cannot get into safe mode, tried all the options, just does the exact same thing over and over. Tried using the recover disc and all it does is start to reformat, then says Error #4, then reboots itself going right back to where it was before. pulling my hair out here!!
Can't get into safe mode, cant get it to reformat....HELP!!!! PLEASE!!

If you've already tried reformatting prior to a fresh install, I'd assume a Repair/Install won't work at this point. Does it even see the existing 2K installation when you select New installation? If so, try a repair from there. If not, I'd suggest pulling the hard drive and using an adapter to slave it to a desktop pc. You can recover any data and reformat the drive using XP's Disk Management.

Download and make the Ultimate Boot CD - and use Darik's Boot and Nuke or Active Killdisk to zero out the hard drive, then use the recovery disk for a fresh install.
Use PR's suggestion first if there's data that needs to be recovered. If you have a standard Win2000 CD somewhere - not just the IBM recovery disk - you can try booting into the repair console and using the fixboot and fixmbr commands, this may fix it so you can get back into Windows. Don't do this if you have data that needs to be recovered, pull it and slave it first. |
