Title: Win2K looping upon bootup
Is this a new setup?  I have only ever seen this when:
 
1.  An ACPI-compliant image built with Sysprep was put on a machine that didn't have ACPI turned on, but this would have been seen right away.
 
2.  Someone tried to Ghost one machine to another and didn't use SYSPREP.  Under these circumstances, you can have trouble if the source drive is bigger than the destination drive.  Again, this would have been seen pretty much from the beginning.

Subject: Win2K looping upon bootup

Firstly, my heart goes out to all those families who lost loved ones in that tragic attack.  This e-mail list helped me deal with the emotional torment that I felt from the very first day of the attack.  Reading through 350+ e-mails relating to the attack made me feel very close to the pain/frustration of the citizens of the United States as well as others throughout the rest of the world. 

      I have an issue that may be trivial to some but I'll ask anyway.  Win2K machine on a Dell Precision 410 (Pentium II with 128Mb RAM (ecc) Diamond Pro FireGl video card) does not get past the "starting Windows 2000" (screen with the horizontal bar graph loading).......it just reboots again over and over, looping.  Memory, HDD, CPU or video card failure may be the culprit(s) but the system is in a remote location and these can not be ruled out so easily.  Booting up in Safe mode results in same problem.  Any ideas as to how to isolate the problem remotely?  Thanks in advance!
