I turned my computer off on Friday, and all was well in the world. When I turned it on Saturday, it wouldn't load windows because it says that some startup file is missing from the System directory (of Win2k). What the hell?

I had that too. Unless you made an ERD when you installed windows 2k you will need to reformat.
