How to Restore Windows 2000 From the Boot Log
- 1). Restart your computer. As your computer restarts continuously press the "F10" or "F8" key. Different computers require either one or the other, but most computers will restart in the boot log by pressing "F8." If you don't hit either the "F8" or "F10" key in time, you will need to repeat this step.
- 2). Select "Safe Mode With Command Prompt."
- 3). Select your operating system, Windows 2000 by using the ARROW keys. Press "Enter".
- 4). Type in the administrator password, if you have one.
- 5). Type the command "%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe" and then press "Enter". Your computer will now be restored.
