Windows Install Help!

I have been running windows 2000 for about 4 months. I began to experiance problems. So when i tried to reinstall Windows 2000 by booting of the cd again and i get an error of NTFS.sys is corrupted.
System Specs
-Shuttle AK12A Motherboard
-Amd Athlon 1.3 Ghz
-Savage 2000 64mb
-256mb
-2.5gb Wester Digital Hardrive with a Maxtor 20gb

Things Tried
-I have tried removing any new hardware i had installed prior to the second installation.
-Updated the Bios
-Cleared the CMOS
-Formated the Western Digital
-Deleted the Partition
HELP!

 

Try restoring the Master boot Record by booting to dos A: prompt using a good boot disk with utilities on it. From the A: prompt type, FDISK /MBR <enter> The screen should pause momentarily before returning the A: prompt. That's all the indication you will get. Then go ahead and run fdisk again and check your partition and set it up any way you like or if it looks ok, leave it and try the install again.

Good luck.

 

Another Problem

Thanks that helped alot....I got passed the Problem of ntfs.sys is corrupted. Now i get a new error...... I have gone through the steps of setting up the hardware and choosing the the network settings, when the computer restarts, it loads and i can see the background screen, and then a blue screen comes up.....before i can even read what it says, the computer restarts

Things i have tried...
-Reinstalled the whole OS

 

That makes it tough not being able to view that error screen message. Perhaps a Safe Mode boot will tell you something in the Device Manager about possible conflicts. Does it ask you to repeat the hardware setup when it reboots? If it does that each time, then try selecting the "Skip" option when it presents that screen and see if you can get Windows running properly before installing all the peripheal drivers.

Also perhaps a bootlog review will yield something.

 

I have fixed the problem. thanks for all your help.
What i had to do was first format my HD in Fat then install windows 2000 and convert the hd to ntfs. who would have figured that....
i just have one small problem now...when i shutdown my comp it brings me a screen that says "It is now safe to shutdown your computer ". My computer has atx power...so i dont know why it doesnt automatically shutdown....

 

CDROM

I have a Kenwood UCR421P
and a Yamaha 8424EZ

The drives were working well before i installed nere burning rom. After that they wont even show up in "My computer ". I checked the device manager and it shows that now they hav bad drivers. I have updated the firmware and reinstalled the drivers. I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled the drives....HELP!
