Try this:
1. Boot into the correct version of Windows.
2. Check which folders on your hard disk have a subfolder
called "system32". Let's assume it's "WinNT\system32"
and "WinNT1\system32".
3. Using Explorer, try to rename "WinNT" to "WinNT.bad".
If it does not work, rename "WinNT1" to "WinNT1.bad".
4. Wait a week.
5. If all is well, delete the renamed folder.

This method is safe because Windows 2000 will not let you
rename its system folder.
