fixing a win2k boot sector does not need to be that complicated. a simpler
approach is as follows:
- boot the recover console
- execute the fixboot command
- exit the console
to boot the recovery console you have 3 choices:
- boot the win2k cd, at the welcome screen press SHIFT-F10
or
- boot the win2k cd, at the welcome screen choose r for revocery, and then
c for console
or
- install the recovery console onto your harddisk and then simply reboot
the machine and choose the recovery console from the boot menu. to install
the console simply run “winnt32 /cmdcons”.

maybe your ntfs boot sector is wrong. (Booting/installing win9x
sometimes gives strange results.)
To fix a ntfs boot-sector:
- Use the other NT-System
- Use DskProbe.exe from NT4-Resource Kit or from Win2000 Support
Directory. - open physical drive ( the faulty one) read sector 0 and display as
Partition-Table. Verify entrys. - If these entrys make sense go to first sector of your ntfs partition.
Display as NTFS Boot-Sector. If it is overwritten you can go to the
last sector of the ntfs partition where you find a copy of boot
sector. Copy it to sector 0 of your partition. - reboot.
- check again in diskmgr.

I have try another NT system, the case is the same. The message Box show "
The file or directory$Volume is corrupt and unreadable, please run the
chkdsk utility" I have run chkdsk, but it seems no use. I use NT disk
administrator to view the disk, It shows “unknown” on my NTFS disk.
