Default clean install of Win2K

Once I get the Startup Menu I go into Command prompt only. I can successfully
do a scandisk /all (with some files being fixed). When I try to do a scanreg
/fix I get the following Registery Repair Results message, "Windows found an
error in your system files and was unable to fix the problwem. Try deleting
some files to free up disk space on your Windows drive. If that doesn't work
then you will need to install Windows to a new directory."

Hi Mike,

The screen that comes up on reboot is titled "Microsoft Windows Millennium
Startup Menu" There are actually 6 options. Same 4 as in previous note and 5.
Command prompt only 6. Safe mode command prompt only. Option 5 (Command
prompt only) is highlighted.

You don't appear to be running Win Me. Win Me has no option "5. Safe mode

Yes, I did run scandisk in DOS with a surface scan many times. And I
did test RAM using Simmtester's DocMemory for a couple of hours and
it came up clean/passed. On re-boot after a freeze the screen that
comes up has 5 options 1. Normal 2. Logged 3. Safe mode 4.
Step-by-step-configuration 5. Safe mode command prompt only. When I
try Safe mode it also freezes.
