According to the W2K resource kit, this is a driver error. Since you can't get to the GUI you may be sunk. The book suggests to use your emergency recovery disk if you have one. Since no one ever does you may get luck by booting with the W2K disk and do a repair. It also says to try the last known good config, but that hardly ever works. Good luck.
