WIN2000 topic is still alive?
Your message is the first one I've seen in
here in over a year..

[Here is my two cents worth]

As for your problem, Hmmmm

I'm running WinXP Home now with no problems,

but I have used WinNT4 and Win2000..

AS best I can recall, there are 6 things
that may cause that Error,

1.) a lose Cable connecting the Boot device
    either on the device or the Motherboard

2.) Wrong or Corrupted Setting in System BIOS

3.) Faulty Power supply or Connection cable

4.) check the Power Supply Fan for Lint/Dust
    is the fan is stopped or turning Slowly
    it can Over heat the Boot Device and
    cause "inaccessibility"

5.) Check the CPU cooling Fan, is it turning
    check for Dust/Lint and obstructions to
    the air flow, this could heat up the CPU
    and result in Inaccessibility Errors..


6.) Motherboard problems??



I hope this info helps..
