      Actually i have a pc using Windoes 2000 Professional. What i did try is, i copied Win 2000 Pro boot files onto a cd. Then i started up the pc with the cd, only to get an error msg that i have been getting that has prevented me from getting the pc to start up normally.

      error at startup-- STOP (bunch of strange characters) boot device error.

      I checked the drive connections, cables. This is why i want to get the prompt.

      Last Know failed, Safe mode, failed, always this same message.

      So how can i get a prompt or run boot files on Win 2K Pro?
