Okay, let me try to explain this.  I am installing Win2000 on an old system
that ran win98SE on a hard drive that is 40gigs.  I install WIn 2000, all
goes well.  I install drivers for modem, sound card and NIC.  Win2000 boots
with no problem.  I then install Zonealarm so I can go on line and update
2000 with SP4.  The install of SP4 seems to go well, but when the system
boots after the install, I get a blue screen that tells me I have a problem
with the had drive.  To uninstall any hardware that is new, run chkdsk /f.

How do I run chkdsk /f from Win 2000 when I can get it booted?

Earlier, I installed win 2000 to the system on an old 8.6gig HDD.  The 40
Gig was for files and apps.  Win 2000 loaded okay.  I checked for the HDD
and their size, all was okay.  I loaded ZoneAlarm, downoaded win 2000SP4.
It installed.  It ran but the 40 Gig drive then reported a sive of only 7.6
gigs.

What I'm I doing wrong, how can I get the system to boot beyound the blue
screen?

I'll assume you dont have a functioning sys;
Chkdsk can be run from the command console
