This can come from a variety of things, so lets start with this:

1) Open the pc case, then power on the pc, do you hear the drive spin up? Any clunking sounds or high pitched noise? Those would point to a bad hard drive. Also look for leaking or puffed capacitors on the board.

2) If those are OK, go into the BIOS and see if the drive is detected (Like WD80 as Primary or does it say Not Installed?). If it is showing Not Installed, you could have a bad IDE or Sata data cable. Try swapping out the cables and if that doesn't help try moving from the Primary controller to the Secondary controller.

3) If the drive is detected in the BIOS, run the Recovery Console from the Windows 2000 CD and from the prompt enter chkdsk c: /r to attempt to repair bad blocks, sectors.

Let me know what you come up with so far.

Most of the time that I've seen this, it's due to a hard drive that encountered errors. I'd do whatever I had to do to backup whatever data you can before it craps out. Since you obviously have access to a computer, I'd see about downloading any number of bootable utility CD's and hook an external drive to the box and see if you can get access to the disk and copy stuff off. Once that's done you can try running the chkdsk command as outlined previously.

Formatting is advisable ONLY if you wish to lose everything on the computer. Then it makes perfect sense. If that's not what you want, then stay clear of it.
