I think, we have to stop here and I'll ask you to post your issue under "Windows 2000" section.
HJT forum has very limited access and it's mainly used for dealing with infections.
You'll get more attention at Windows section.

When your computer is bootable again, please, return back here.

will do.
Cheers.

OK

I have a possible fix for you.

Boot to Recovery Console again...

once at the command prompt, type carefully

copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\pciide.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers\pciide.sys

then press Enter

then type Exit at the command prompt, press enter and that will exit the Recovery Console and attempt to restart your machine


if it can not find the file at c:\windows\system32\dllcache\pciide.sys then type

copy c:\i386\pciide.sys c:\windows\system32\drivers\pciide.sys
