Win 2000 Inaccessible Boot Device

I installed Win 2000 Pro over the weekend. I also have Win98 SE installed on C:\ Yesterday, I started getting a blue screen when trying to start Win2k. This is what it says:

STOP: 0x0000007B (0xEF01B84C, 0xC0000034, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. It prompts me to run CHDSK /F, which will not run.

For a while, restarting would make the error go away. Then starting in Safe mode and choosing last know good configuration would. Now, I get the error all the time.

Anybody have an idea as to what is causing this?.😕

Thanks
 
Are you running win98 and win2k on the same partition? If yes that probably your cause or your problems. You should definately run win2k on it's separate partition.


What file system are you running? NTFS? or fat32? You should be able to fix this with an emergency repair disk, so give that a try to see if it works.

 
Yeah, they are on separate partitions, both running FAT32. I`ll try the rescue disk later today when I get home.
 
Did you install SP1? I have the same configuration and I installed Win2k fine, but after I installed sp1 for win2k pro, it gave me the same error. I started over again. Let me know if this is the same error if my computer just hates me...

You got it. Had to run the rescue deal and now it`s fine. Funny thing is, the tab on device manager shows that SP1 is installed even after overwriting the files. At least it works now.😀
