Bravo500 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Problem: Windows 2K Excel and outlook and Word would not open. When clicking on an already created document, an error would say "Document could not be found or does not exist(corrupt)"Efforts: Uninstalled Windows Office 2k and re-installed. Now Word will open, but not the other appllications. Went to reboot into F8 to go into safemode and after hitting F8 I am getting "Windows 2000 could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEMCedNow regardless of what I do I cannot get past this screen upon bootup. It's obvious that this is a corrupt registry file.Question: I do not have the Windows 2000 Pro disk anymore which has the recover console. Is there anything alternate options for fixing the registry without having the CD, or is my best bet to get a copy of the OS CD? Any other options out there aside from a fresh install?

Bravo500 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I'm sorry I meant, how do you error check? Will this help you help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Hmm... Sorry, I don't know how Win2K and XP are different but in XP you have the Error-Checking tool. Does 2K have it also?Right click on the hard-drive, properties, tools, Error-checking, check now.That will scan your drive for errors.

Bravo500 Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 That's the problem. I can't even get past the bootup. It errors out when trying to load windows. I assume I need to get a copy of the main disk. Would that be correct anyone? Any good free boot CD applications out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
