W2k start abort
Richard
Many thanks for your advice. Couldn't boot in any safe or advanced modes so I removed the drive and installed it in another pc. Then ran the virus checker and found a number of corrupted files. All except one were repaired. On reinstalling the drive, the pc does not even get as far as before: it just puts up a mono screen and asks for a boot disk.
However, whilst the drive was in the other machine I was able to extract my data OK. I am resigned to doing a clean install of W2k.
