after physical dump error will not detect hard drives

[ddiels]

Got an error message and blue screen saying it was dumping physical memory.
I rebooted and the machine would not detect the hard drives. The drives are not new by hardly used. 20 gig on master and 80 gig on slave. Win 2000 with 500 meg RAM.

What do I do to get this thing running?

You may have to reinstall w2k?? it maybe BAD sectors in the hard drive??
Can you get into SAFE MODE?

Well, I turned off the computer and spewed a few choice words at it and went upstairs and had a coffee break. After about an hour or so I went back downstairs W2K disk in hand and turned the system on. It booted up without any problems and I finished what I was working on. So now I am baffled. This was not the first time I got the physical dump error. I occurred a couple days before but the system rebooted OK immediately.
