Have you tried booting with the Windows 2000 CD and choosing the repair option? It attempts to repair the current installation and generally corrects file or configuration problems. What it will not do is correct hardware problems. I've used it acouple of times to solve this type of problem. You will have to reapply service packs and hotfixes if it rolls back any files to the original version from the CD.

just a thought from previous experiance.

Ive seen that error after installing a Zip drive and the install changed the default ATAPI services to the ZIP drivers. Its been a long time but that was the basic premise. Something similar could have happened. You can use recovery console from CD to turn off and on services. You may need to type help at the prompt to get a list of exact commands. I know to start services is Enable. But like I say its been awile since I have had to do any of that and so you should double check the proper commands if this is the situation.
Also if any HDDs or other bootable devices have been installed or whatever double check connections and jumper settings.

Just a thought on the matter.

hi,
i just want to let you know that you can get a boot disk from w2k software, just explore and find the startup folder, either burn it or copy it to four formatted disk. you should be able to follow the instruction, step by step.
good luck
