Problems and Solutions

I made changes to the host adapter configuration and Windows 2000
no longer boots!
The boot manager for Windows 2000 contains recovery logic to
allow you to return to the last known good configuration. If you
have changed your host adapter configuration and Windows 2000
no longer boots:
1 Undo any hardware changes you have made to the computer
since it was last operational.
2 Restart the computer. Watch the display carefully during
startup. When you see the following message at the bottom of
the screen, press F8:
Starting Windows...
This opens the Windows 2000 Advanced Options menu. Select
Last Known Good Configuration; then select a boot profile.
3 Once your computer is operational again, check all of the
hardware and software configuration changes you want to
make. Look specifically for conflicts with parts of the existing
system configuration that are not being changed.
