Windows 2000 Boot

Dear Sirs,

I have lost access to my Laptop Harddisk. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I was 1st getting where it would not boot up. I would start to load the windows 2000 Pro interface and then the following message would come up..

System Shut down
This shutdown was initiated by NT Authority/System...
(1min count down, then reboot to this endless loop)

The System process c:\winnt\system32\services.exe terminated unexpectedly with a status code of 128. The system will now shut down.

I was continually getting this error as the pc continually restarted.
Now I don't even get that far. Now it tries to start up and then gets a Blue Screen Stop Error as follows...

Stop: 0x000007b, 0x817dd5f0, oxc0000102
Inaccessible_Boot_Device

This is windows 2000 Pro. SP4. There has been no Software or Hardware newly added and I cannot find my Windows 2000 Pro CD at the moment. I think if I can find a way to boot to a: or CD I might be able to switch to the c and d drives to save my data.
Please...any suggestions to get access would be greatly apprciated. Have a great day!!! Thank You for your time.

At a guess, you are pretty well stopped unless you can find your install CD.

If you can locate a CD, I'd try booting to the recovery console and doing a fixboot command. Probably won't work but is simple, quick, and harmless.

If it doesn't fix you up, take a look at This article.

From the parts of the error you posted, it is most likely software rather than hardware problems.

FWIW, there should be more numbers associated with the error.

0x000007b (0x817dd5f0, 0xc0000102, nxnnnnnnnn) possibly
