The only past case I can find that mentions this error message indicates
that you may have compresed your system drive. Compressing a system drive
is a no no and causes windows to not function. If this is the case you will
need to slave the drive on another 2k machine and uncompress the system
drive. Once you have done this you should be able to access your 2k
installation. Good Luck.
Below is the actual meaning behind a Error 5
Code 5
------
The driver for this device requested a resource that Windows does not know
how to handle. (Code 5)
This code indicates that there was a device failure due to the lack of an
arbitrator. If a device requests a resource type for which there is no
arbitrator, you receive this error code.
