To fix this problem:

1. Boot the computer from the Windows 2000 CD.

2. Select the Repair option.

3. Select Recovery Console.

4. Log in as the administrator.

5. From the Recovery Console, type: FIXMBR

6. Remove the Windows 2000 CD from the CD drive and reboot the computer from a Windows 9x boot diskette.

7. At the command line, run FDISK /MBR.

8. Remove the Windows 9x boot diskette and reboot the computer to Windows 2000.


The login process should now be successful.

In some cases, booting to a Windows 9x boot diskette to restore the image will get around the problem.
