Hello.

I understand this is an older post but was hoping someone could eleborate on how to fix this issue when it's my virtual machine that won't boot up.

Basically I converted a physical to virtual and went to boot up the Windows 2000 server for the first time as a virtual and received the blue screen as described in this original post.

The fix seems obvious but I cannot get into the virtual to modify the files as per Microsoft's instructions.

Thanks in advance.
