Seriously,
I am having a problem with an IBM laptop. It's a new machine and runs win2k with all the service packs reinstalled.
Anyways, the user complains that it randomly reboots for no reason. it also pops a message up "A system file replacement was attempted, insert win2k disk... bla, bla, bla".
I have put the cd in, but it keeps happening.
WTF is going on, any ideas?

Sorry, I got interrupted.

You need to check the bios version on the systemboard of this computer. IBM has a bios revision for w2k on their website.

Check the event viewer. It looks like it is blue screening. W2K will reboot after a BSOD.
