I am getting the following error while Win2K is booting up:

**Stop 0x0000007b (0x8144F950, 0x0000006, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) INACCESIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

This began after I lost power to my laptop during bootup. When I restarted, I got this blue screen error and it's been around ever since...

I tried running Win2K's repair console, but it says it can't detect my hard drive; yet, when I run SCANDSK, it says everything is ok.

I called Toshiba (I have a Tecra 8000) and they tried to restore a previous registry, but were unable to because one could not be found...and that's the extent of their help.

Here's some random info in case it helps...I have my 6 GB drive partitioned into two. I had Win2k with SP1. The only way I can get a dos prompt is with a Win98 boot disk and when I type "dir", it's only displaying particular files (ie scandsk, fdsk, etc) and not everything else I have on my c: drive. I tried to install Win2k again, but was told I didn't have a hard drive.

Does anyone know any way for me to recover my stuff? Can I hook up my drive as a slave drive and transfer the stuff over? Any other ideas?

Thank you very very much for any help!!
