[Windows 2000 SP4-4in1 MultiBoot(Professional-Server-Advanced Ser Serial Key

First things first. Make sure you do not have a floppy disk in your floppy drive (presuming it is a tower PC).
I used to get multiple user calls back in the Win2K days of this issue due to floppies in the drive and trying to boot to them.
If there is no floppy, can you think of anything that recently changed? If not, you should insert your Windows 2000 CD in to the CD drive and ensure your PC BIOS is set to boot to CD. Then boot to CD and run a Windows repair using the setup. HTH.
Regards.
You may need to go into your BIOS prior to PC bootup (usually by pressing F1). You will need to go into boot device options and choose your CDROM as the primary boot device, then the HDD as secondary.
Then restart and you should be able to boot to the CD and repair Windows.

Common BIOS entry Keys
F1
F2
DEL
ESC
F10
You will know when to press this key when they see a message similar to the below example as the computer is booting. Some older computers may also display a flashing block to indicate when to press the F1 or F2 keys.
If none of the above helps you you need to look at the HDD in your Computer being a potential Problem here. It may have had the Data Lead work out of the Drive if it is a IDE Type Drive or the Power Supply may have died and not be producing the power on either the 5 or 12 Volt DC Rails which is causing the problem here. Most likely the 5 V DC Rail if that is the case here.
You may very well need the hard drive controller drivers. You need to determine the system or more specifically the Motherboard manufacturer. Then go to their site and download the drivers for the Drive controller.
When installing w2K you will see a screen to press F6 to load the drivers from a floppy.
To determine your MB; enter BIOS and see if its listed. If not listed write down the BIOS ID String and Google that string. Or use the UBCD for windows and run Belarc.
Put in another drive and load on the Windows system and then you will be able to access your files from the other drive. If you have IDE drives then make sure that the new drive is MASTER by looking at the back and you will see a black or blue bit plastic, this is called a Jumper. Make sure that this is in the MSTR (master) slot. Now with the old drive out make the old drive as SLAVE by placing the jumper on the SLAVE pins. Picture here:

Hope all goes well.
First of all I think what you have is a service pack cd and not an install cd. When you boot to the install cd you should see a bunch of files being copied as if it was going to do an install. So the first thing you need to do is get an install cd.
To use the recovery console do the following:
Start the computer from Windows 2000 operating system CD, and then enter Windows 2000 Setup(It will take about 30 secs to load all files). Press ENTER at the Setup Notification screen to go to the Welcome to Setup screen. Press R to repair a Windows 2000 installation, and then press C to use the Recovery Console.
The Recovery Console displays valid Windows 2000 installations and prompts you select the installation to repair. To access the disk with the Recovery Console, press the number key for the Windows 2000 installation that you want to repair, and then press ENTER. If you press ENTER without typing a number, the Recovery Console quits and restarts the computer. Once you are at the command prompt type the following: chkdsk /r. It may take a couple of hours to finish. Once it is done, and back at the command prompt, take out the cd and restart your computer. This works for me about 70% of the time.
How to Create a Bootable Windows XP Setup Disk on a Preinstalled / Preloaded Windows System
If you have bought an off-the-shelf computer recently, chances are that it came with Windows preloaded onto the system. Unfortunately, many of these systems with Windows preinstalled do not come with a Windows setup CDROM; at best they include a Recovery Disk that restores the system to its shipping condition. If you plan to reformat and do a clean installation of your system, you might think that you have to buy another additional Windows XP licence even though you have already paid for one for that same machine. This article shows you how you can re-create a usable and bootable Windows XP installation CD using your running system.
An I386 Directory (Folder) on your Hard Disk
This is essential. Without this, the procedure outlined on this page will not work. To find out whether you can use the steps listed on this page to re-create your bootable Windows XP setup disk, look for into your system drive (usually the C: drive), and see if you can find a folder named I386 in the root directory. That is, see if you have the C:\I386 folder on your hard disk.
Windows License Key
When you bought your PC or laptop, it probably already came with Windows pre-activated, which means that you could use the computer out-of-the-box without having to enter your Windows licence key from Microsoft or needing to activate the machine.
Device Drivers
Some manufacturers provide you with the device drivers for your system on a CD that comes with your system. Others require you to go to their website and download these drivers. Whichever the case may be, make sure you have all your drivers handy before you start. Burn them onto a CD or DVD. Do not leave them on your hard disk, since your clean installation of Windows will probably wipe out everything on your hard disk. If your computer has SATA, IDE, SCSI or other mass storage devices (for your hard disks) that the Windows installer does not recognize out of the box, you will need to create a floppy disk with the drivers for that device. At the appropriate time, when Windows prompts you to hit F6 to load the drivers from a floppy disk, you will need to so. This is however outside the scope of this tutorial.
CD/DVD Burning Software
You will need to have a CD/DVD burning software that will allow you to create Bootable CDs. Not all DVD or CD mastering programs allow you to do this, especially the OEM versions that are bundled with new computers or DVD/CD writers.
For the purpose of this tutorial, I will use ImgBurn, a free burning software that you can find listed on the Free CD and DVD Burners and Copying Software page. You can of course use other software, but since it is difficult for me to write a tutorial that covers every possible burning software around, this guide will assume that you are using ImgBurn. Since the software is available free of charge, I doubt that this choice will pose significant hardship for anyone.
Windows Setup CD Boot Sector
You will also need the boot sector of an existing bootable Windows 2000, XP or 2003 setup CDROM. The easiest way to get this is to download the file wxp10.zip from one of the links on =wxp10.zip. In fact, you should do this now. Download the file and save it on your desktop. You will need the file later.
Note carefully what I said above. You may be running XP SP 2 now, but if your PC came with XP SP 1, you should create the files for XP SP 1. There is an exception to this. If your PC or laptop came with XP or XP SP 1, but you want your Windows install CD to install XP SP 2, create the WIN51 files needed for SP 2 and follow the procedure for slipstreaming Windows service pack 2 (SP 2) into the Windows setup CDROM given in the next step.
Note that even if you have since updated your computer to SP 2, you will still need to do this step if you want your setup CD to install Windows XP Service Pack 2. The reason is that updating your running Windows system does not automatically update the I386 directory. Your I386 directory still contains the Windows setup files belonging to whatever version of Windows you had when you first bought your PC/laptop.
The version of ImgBurn I used to create this guide was 2.3.2.0. My cursory test of a later version, 2.4.0.0, found that the resulting disk was not made correctly. Therefore, you should avoid 2.4.0.0. Either use the earlier version or get a version later than 2.4.0.0, if any, that has the bugs fixed.

That was an excellent review. As much as I distrust M$, you seemed to have had a pleasant experience and I may look into this OS further down the line, as more users use it and more feedback rolls in.
Fact is that alot of people will just disable the security features. Like you did with IE. If security gets in the way of the user in day-to-day basis, then the user is going to just find ways around that security, or just turn it off. So you end up with less security.
The original NT driver model ran drivers outside the kernel, outside of ring zero. A bad driver could not crash your machine. When Cutler designed NT, he designed it with the robustness of a VAX in mind.
This is just like the previous Server versions of Windows. They have different a engine under the hood that is geared for heavy duty work. With the previous versions of Windows Server products the performance of them as a workstation was below that of the workstation version of the OS.
You will need to either have files of a fixed file size (which is useless) or you will need to use a technique which will render your hard drive full after only filling a few percentage of the real size of the drive.
There is even ext2defrag tool for ext and a patch for reiserfs from SuSE: This patch should apply against just about any version of the endian patches, and will fix the problem. This will not fix existing fragmentation, but will affect all newly created files and appends. If desired, you can defragment by copying a fragmented file and deleting the old one. To defragment the entire fs, restoring from a fresh backup is your best bet as there is on defrag tool for reiserfs yet.
