Error 5 & Error 8 upon boot up

[nrosalin]

Just wondering if anybody could help me.
Upon boot up of my Windows 2000 Server, it stops and gives me two errors:
Error 5 Error finding vfloppy.sys
Error 8 Floppy driver not found
Press any key to continue.
If I press any key, it goes through the POST correctly. The down side of it is that I have to do this everytime I reboot.
Any ideas appreciated. Thank you!

Hmmm, sounds like you are simply missing a driver. You can most likely fix it by re-applying any Service Pack you installed. I could not find a file list for SP4 but you can do this.

Download the service pack and it will uncompress to a directory. Keep explorer open and you will see the directory appear. Look through the directory, if you see your vfloppy.sys driver then cancel out of the install (no changes will be made to your system) and apply the Service Pack when you can. That should restore the file.

Keep in mind this may undo any Post-SP4 patches that you may have applied so you may have re-add those as well. Alos, make sure you have a backup of your system before you try any of this.
