Once again I have succumbed to this killer 
Quite a happy system until I tried to change the termination on an external device...
Then bsod advising me that I was unable to load the OS
Anyone else? Any ideas?
Apparently nothing on Technet/Knowledgebase/Usergrps etc that is any help
but lots of poor saps that have suffered...
This'll be my 3rd install...
+ download of all them other files etc...

I presume you've changed the termination back to its original settings and it's still a problem?
Termination of external devices is a nightmare. There's active and passive terminators, some devices have them built in and others don't, you need termination when you have internal and external devices, but not when you have only external (or is it the other way round?)

Error is...
"Windows 2000 Stop C0000218 Registry File Error
The system cannot load the hive file systemroot\system2/config\software or its xxx or alternative is corrupt or missing or read only"
I had added a SCSI Dat to the external chain & terminated it. Other external device was the CoolScan which was seen. Went to reboot & hey presto

Previous incarnation had same problem & I tried that then

I can't get it to boot at all Tried all options under F8.
Haven't tried an ERD (haven't got one for this machine :rolleyes
would one from a W2K Server work? (as a concept to try)
If I could get even a command prompt I could get some files off before wipeout...
Previously tried booting via CD in order to access files but no joy. It's almost like the HDD has been wiped of its ID thingy (forgot what its called but like partition info but not)

Hmm, not looking good Mr Wagon.
A couple of suggestions if you want to get files off. First is to slave the HD off a working machine and copy the files that way.
Other means of getting into the HD without needing another PC:
