Boot into Windows 2000 but get error window: No paging file or paging file too small, right click (etc & etc). NOT POSSIBLE as that is the ONLY thing on the screen! How can this be fixed? BTW, do not say to use "safe mode" as that has *never* worked in any of my dozen or so installs (probably because i used the dual boot/dual OS option).
Sounds like you have run out of disk space.
As a test, maybe clone the Windoze partition of this disk to a larger one (???)

Just boot up the install disk, start a repair session, open a console and delete a few files. Or do the same from a LINUX live disc boot.
And regardless of his bent brained lock out of safe mode, IT DOES WORK.
If you still can't get it to boot, delete the swap file and a few others, and it will get re-initialized on the restart.
In addition to trying "repair install", as that would not fix file-system-level problems like ACLs, look at the permissions on the root of the hard disk. Make sure system and admin have full rights, and make sure the rights are inherited by the subfolders.
I'm assuming you can still get into the GUI with no pagefile, since you usually can.
