Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Setup / March 2008Drive failure question
Windows 2000 OS -- used to run an instrument in lab setting. Have code, but company provided an image disk to restore a new disk -- not the OS CD itself. Drive is giving BSOD -- and suggests running checkdsk /F. Question Can I get an CD with OS from microsoft at minimal charge, since I have the code? Also -- the reason I want is there are important files on the hard drive. Can I boot off of a 2000 CD and run a recovery console, similar to what is in XP. That would give me a chance to repair the HD and perhaps save the files? Thanks > Windows 2000 OS -- used to run an instrument in lab setting.

No...even if you could get to the repair console fixmbr would only make things worse.. you need to slave the drive to another machine and run some data recovery software > >>Windows 2000 OS -- used to run an instrument in lab setting.
