Hi and Welcome,
First off, when you get the blue screen, what error is showing? Second, you run check disk from command prompt. Open a command prompt window (been a long time since I was on a 2000 machine, but something like start, programs etc), type chkdsk /f, with a space between chkdsk and /, no space between / and f. Third, there is a chance everything is still there, so there is hope.
