I tried to start my computer this morning but I couldn't get to windows 2000. I just got the blue screen saying that my data is downloading and the data will be lost forever. Last time it said this I had to replace my whole cpu. Why does this happenand is there something that I can do to get out of the blue sceen- without having to replace my computer?

The blue screen of dead not always mean that you have to change your entire system. if you are able to go into log on steps pressing F8 key to log on on a safe mode to found what is the problem. or you can tray the LAST GOOD CONFIGURATION Option to tray to logon to the system as the last time the system logon fine. if this is not work probably a virus detroyed the OS (Operating System) and you need to reformat your hard drive and reinstall your Windows 2000).

It sounds like you have received a virus. I don't think you'll be able to stop it once it happens. I have been using Windows 2000 for about a year now and I have never seen this before. I have about 270 customers that use it too and I've never seen this on any of those computers either.If you have internet access you might want to look into buying a virus software package. Nortons is what we use at my work place and it seems to be ok. One more thing, if you think it might be a virus you will want to FDISK your hard drive before reinstalling all you software. If you don't, you might not get rid of the virus and the samethning will happen again. I hope this helps!

Hi,

If you manage not to have a LAST GOOD Configuration then you are already dead so that's why when you are dealing with Windows NT or 2000 you should have always make many profile configuration as you can so that you can restore your computer. Do you have any recovery disk? Remember before you setup Windows 2000 or NT the setup will asked you if you want a recovery disk? if you don't have then no more used try to reformat....or if you still cannot access your hardisk...it should be a hardware problem you may send it to a repair shop. Hope this help a bit.

So that's why I always see to it that I have a backup disk or recovery disk to restore my configuration if something goes wrong.

Cheers,
