win2k error during sp3 setup
I work as an IS Technician for a City in Minnesota. After the Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 installation completed, I checked the "Do not reboot now" checkbox to finish up deleting the *.tmp files on the system. I was unable to delete *.tmp, so I decided to reboot and then do it. During the shutdown process a Dr. Watson error came up for winlogon.exe. Upon reboot, the system would cycle up and down erroring on winlogon.exe. This would occur during Normal and Safe mode. I removed the drive and put it into a known good system and replaced the 173kb winlogon.exe with a 175kb file from a system already running the SP3 update. After that, the system would boot to the logon box, but after logging in would error on lsass.exe "code 128" and shutdown the system every 1 minute. Running the Windows 2000 repair did nothing, reinstalling to a new dir would not complete, etc. The system that I had installed the drive into to copy the winlogon.exe file upon rebooting now came up with an error stating that I had no pagefile, when in fact I did have one prior to installing the hard drive in question. Does anyone have any ideas? I am currently reinstalling Win2k Pro completely, but I have never EVER had this happen in the past.
