Situation: Blue screen of death and an unbootable Windows 2000 Pro SP4
partition - hard disk accessible when connected as a slave with another
bootable system.

I've been getting a "STOP: c000021a (Fatal System Error)" - as documented in
KB article 330303 of 10Oct2005. The cause seems weird, but my error message
is exactly as it describes.

Naturally, I'd like to get this partition booting again.

My interpretation of this is that if I can get hold of secur32.dll
v5.0.2195.6102 and put it into the partition's %\windir%\system32\ folder,
then it might work again - though that sounds far-fetched.

Meanwhile, where can I request that version of secur32.dll ?

Thx - Ian Thomas

Its a workstation system with too much s/w installed and configured to try
to reproduce the system afresh (though I'm building a separate system on
WinXP).
