every time i used boot into win2k, the auto-detect mechanism for hardware would always come up with "windows has detected a PCI controller" despite the fact that i hadn't installed one. eventually, over time i got annoyed with it and decided to install any drivers available (on the system) to keep windows happy. i did so, and since then my system no longer boots from that partition on the HD (C:). a blue screen comes up saying i should check the drive using command chkdsk /f to fix errors. the system will not boot in safe mode either. i have installed win2k on another partition on the HD and can access all my files on C: but why will the system not boot from C:?
please help
