If your Win2000 is using NTFS, you can't get there from DOS. DOS doesn't know how to read that FS. And regular old DOS can't read the 32-bit FS, either. Did you ever create some sort of rescue disk, or is there a boot floppy that came with Win2K? That should work. Good luck. --doug

Dear All,
I am dual booting with win2000 and Suse8.2pro. I only use Suse, however I went into my win2000 yesterday briefly to check on something and noticed that it is not acting right. The cursor is lagging and it would shutdown on its own after a few minutes of use. I am hoping an email virus did not get to it through my linux email.
Anyway I want to fix it by going into dos and using scanreg/all but will that wipe out my Suse as well? I will not do this until I know for sure it will not hurt my Suse 8.2 setup.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Marcia
Thank you all for replying. Yes, why bother fixing the windows2000 if I do not use it. I may not for awhile. ;-) I am glad to know that an email virus cannot find my windows disk and do anything. That is a relief. I know that I have been getting a flood of email viruses, but of course they do not affect my Suse 8.2. :-)
I do have a boot disk which will help if I need it. Maybe the knoppix CD? Hmmm. I guess I can work on that someday when it is important enough. All of your advice has been helpful. Thank you all. Marcia
