2K Server Has Virtual Memory Error

[darenw]

I have a Win 2k Server that had two drives IDE0 and IDE1. IDE1 went corrupt I now need to start up with just one hard drive. When the system comes up it allows me to login to the system and then comes up with Virtual memory space errors and sends me back to the login prompt. Immediate help is needed. Thanks

What you might want to do is boot into safe mode and check the amount of available disk space on the drive... If that's ok, then find out how many services and programs you have running on startup. Turn some of them off for the time being and try booting normally.

Thanks for your reply I had a my secondary drive crash and then through some reading and luck found out that the pagefile.sys was located on the secondary drive. (A neat trick that the OS takes upon itself to do with asking). I ended up ghosting the IDE0 to a new drive putting both of those back in and presto the sytem started back up without incedent.
