After a lot of re-installing applying patches and general screwing around I have arrived at the following situation....
I have a dual boot with Windows 98 on C: and Windows 2000 professional on F: These are physically separate disks not partitions on same disk. I can start the 2000 OS only by forcing a check disk to run prior to the Windows start. This can be acheived by starting the 98 install then switching off and booting to 2000. Otherwise I get a Stop c0000218 blue screen saying that the system hive cannot be loaded. Occasionally I can start 2000 by starting 98 then rename and copy the system file on 2000 then shut down normally and reboot to 2000 ok. I have to do this EVERY time I want to start the 2000 install. This obviously aint right. Any suggestions?
The 2000 install has SP4 and all critical updates applied.
