Hello,

I hope this I'm posting this in the right section. I have an old hard drive with Windows 2000 on it. There's a lot of content I wanted on it, and so I put it in my main PC that's got its own hard drive with XP on it. I can access the files on the 2000 drive just fine, but I'd really like to be able to boot into Windows 2000. When I try to do so, I get the Windows 2000 logo screen for a second and then a blue screen error which gives suggestions like checking for viruses, etc. Obviously I should expect some problems considering the hard drive that was configured for a completely different system now is in a new one with totally different hardware. Is there any way I can boot into Windows 2000? Perhaps altering the registry on the 2000 drive? Thank you in advance.
 
You could pop in the 2000 CD and do a repair install on that drive. Just make sure you don't "repair" the XP drive. ;)
