is thier any disk repair tool i can use that will fix errors in 2000 pro i tryed nortans 2002 but it says disk is locked by another process,then im stuck with crappy chkdsk wich recently currupted my software.log file wich in turn made me haveto format since none of the recovery solutions worked, is thier anything i can use to find/fix errors,
click yes when it asks you to run chkdsk on the next reboot. Then reboot your system. That should take care of your issue. If not, then you can try this, I know it works in windows XP, but as for windows 2000 it would be worth a shot,
start run type sfc /scannow
wait it out, make sure you have your windows 2000 cd available.

System File Checker
A command-line utility called System File Checker (SFC.EXE) allows an Administrator to scan all protected files to verify their versions. System File Checker can also set the registry value SFCScan discussed in Additional Registry Settings later in this article.
System File Checker will also check and repopulate the %Systemroot%\system32\dllcache directory. If the dllcache directory becomes corrupted or unusable, SFC /SCANNOW, SFC /SCANONCE, SFC /SCANBOOT, or SFC /PURGECACHE can be used to repair the contents of the dllcache directory.
SFC.exe scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. The following shows the syntax:
SFC [/SCANNOW] [/SCANONCE] [/SCANBOOT] [/CANCEL] [/QUIET] [/PURGECACHE] [/CACHESIZE=x]
/SCANNOW Scans all protected system files immediately.
/SCANONCE Scans all protected system files once.
/SCANBOOT Scans all protected system files at every boot.
/CANCEL Cancels all pending scans of protected system files.
/QUIET Replaces all incorrect file versions without prompting the user.
/PURGECACHE Purges the file cache and scans all protected system files immediately.
/CACHESIZE=x Sets the file cache size (in megabytes).

Try the site above for creating an emergency repair disk. YOu can also use ontrack, (linked below) to keep your system in order.
ANother emergency repair disk site linked below:

Also make sure you have all the latest updates and service packs installed on your windows 2000 installation. Microsoft does a decent job in releasing updates, but I would make sure you have everything updated just to make sure you system is running smoothly.
IF YOU NEED TO BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY IN WINDOWS 2000 try the site below:

For future reference, if you ever go to XP, the below will help:

try those sites for the automated system recovery and system restore functions. I have used both and they work great. Another thing you can do is use a program that allows you to backup important system files like ontrack systems :
:arrow:http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecovery/
IT allows you to essentially do the same thing as system restore. Works wonderfully well. YOu might also want to make a boot disk for windows XP if something were to happen to cause your system not to boot, this would let you get into the ASR program (automated system recovery)
:arrow:http://support.microsoft.com/support.../q310/9/94.asp
that is if your XP cd is not bootable.
I hope that helps.
