Problems reading hard drive!!

[Guest_imported]

Ok, well, it all started when I was uninstalling Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0. (Note: I am running Windows 2000 Professional) The uninstall had just completed and I was closing off apps so I could restart when out of no where explorer crashes and says that it will s--- down in 1 minute. 5 seconds go by and the screen goes blank for a couple of milliseconds and then that blue screen pops up saying some bs that I couldn't read (it popped up fast and then my computer restarted). Upon restarting, I get yet another blue screen saying INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. I thought that this was no problem, but I was wrong. I tried last known good boot, safe mode, checking the hardware, you name it. I finally gave up and I was trying to back up my data by getting another hard drive from a second computer (second computer runs Windows 98). I made the second hard drive the master and the first one the slave and it booted up fine except that it couldn't read my first hard drive or something. So I shut it down and change the jumpers. When I started it back up I get "Ultra66 BIOS not installed" then "No Operating System Found". So I took the second hard drive and put it back in its computer only to find out that it gives me those errors (Ultra66 BIOS not installed then Operating System Not Found). Upon closer examination I see that there seems to be no activity in the second hard drive at all (a light appears for 10 seconds then nothing). The first hard drive is doing the same thing as it always was (blue screen). So now I have two hard drives that are messed up and I have no clue to why they are. Also, when I go into DOS via boot up disk it says that C: doesn't exist.
First Hard Drive: Windows 2000 Pro, gives boot device inaccessible blue screen. Hardware is ATA/66, IBM Deskstar hard drive.

Second Hard: Windows 98, gives me "Ultra66 BIOS not installed" then "No Operating System Found". Hardware is ATA/66, Quantum Fireball Plus hard drive.

Please, if ANYONE can help me find a solution I will be eternaly greatful.

If you need more info, please don't hesistate to ask.

Ok, I ran the Windows 2000 Setup and chose Repair. I did the emergency repair because when I tried the console it asked for the "Administrator" password and I put it what I thought was it but it didn't accept it (I use my name as the login for Window 2000). Anyway, it did some "examining" and rebooted. I usually get the INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE blue screen at the black Windows 2000 loading screen, but this time it got to the white one before it got the blue screen. Maybe Windows 2000 is the problem. Is there anything else I can do further to fix it or can I install a new copy over the old one to retrieve my data?

Any help would be appreciated.

I installed a new copy of Windows 2000 and it works. I found my files so everything is good.
