Some days ago I have a problem with a W2K Advanced (virtualized with VMWare 1.04): BSOD with IRQL error, but in safe mode windows boots fine. Several days trying to find a solution but nothing.
A college suggested to use this utility:

And it worked! I can boot in normal mode again.
I hope this can help you too.
