2000 PRO DLLs for kernelDELL OptiPlex with an attitude. Seemingly, I've corrupted one of my boot
files. boot.ini, ntoskrnl and hal.dll. Don't know if there is a virus that destroys those things or not. I've tried all the knowledge base suggestions, replacing the files from the cd...etc. Have installed another version to a different directory. Tried building a new boot. ini. Still getting the same message. "Windows 2000 could not start because of an error in the software. Please report this problem as: load needed DLLs for kernel. Please contact your support person to report this problem." Desperately needing any help you can provide. Any diagnostics I can run to test these files or the hard drive. I know scan disk used to do that kind of work, don't know if 2000 has those tools. HELP HELP HELP All solutions for this condition seem to point to an in-place upgrade as a fix.
