Win2K start up problems.

A few weeks ago I got a 80g WD hard drive and installed Win2k on it along with WinMe. Everything has been running fine for at least two weeks. Last week I went out of town for six days. I shut down my computer before I left. When I got back home a couple days ago I went to start my computer up and in Win2k it gets almost all the way though the start up and then the screen turns blue for only a split second and reboots. The screen turns blue then restarts so fast I can't read what it says, but if I let it go it just keeps restarting and restarting. I can boot up into WinMe just fine though. Like I said it was working fine about a week ago before I left and it wasn't touched. I didn't have anything installed accept for my Virus Scan, Zone Alarm, Adaware, a couple of games, and winamp5.0. Can anyone help me out on a fix?
I've tried starting in safe mode but it does the same thing. Started up in WinME and uninstalled the few programs I had in there and still the same thing. I've tried Last known good config, and doesn't work. I've also ran virus scan on the drive but comes up with nothing detected.

Quick Way: Repair the install.

Long Way: Kick up winME and check out win2k's boot.ini, win.ini, etc... for something that looks amiss.
