Are you getting a STOP 0x0000007B error? Was this disk the system disk? If so, the probable cause of the problem is that Windows cannot find the correct mass storage driver in the registry. Here is an unsupported workaround from Microsoft:

If that does not work, you may have to repair Windows 2000 as described in this article:
