Windows 2000 not booting problem

[ec98214]

Here's the problem:

After a sudden reboot, my PC just doesn't load Windows 2000.
It shows the white progress bar but it reboots itself before the end.
Pressing F8 shows that while/after loading the file MUP.SYS is where it hangs then reboot.
...and so on, and on...
It doesn't do anything else!

Tried repair from the windows 2000 instalation CD but it gave me an
"Unexpected error (268353600) at line 1562"
something about
"d:\nt\private\ntos\boot\setup\arcdisp.c"

I've read somewhere that it might be a mounting problem.
that maybe the partition wasn't unmounted before windows rebooted...

Could it be that?
If yes, then what should I do?

Thanks in advance.


PS: The partition is NTFS.

Sounds to me like you're going to need to re-install Windows...although I'm not completely sure.

You could have a bad sector on your hard drive and Windows keeps trying to write to this file. I've seen this happen a lot on laptops from my work. Hard drive gets a bad sector on a system file and corrupts the file causing Windows to constantly reboot. See if you can boot to a Command Prompt and run a chkdsk on the drive.
