I was doing an install of Exchange Server the other day and ran into a "required" hotfix for that product. It does not appear to impact on this issue, but you never know; also, who knows what else MS may have slipstreamed into this hotfix. It installs as a "Windows 2000 Pre-SP2 Hotfix" and appears to be uninstallable from Add/Remove Programs if you need to do so.
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q257/3/57.ASPI also found a reference to an issue with S.M.A.R.T. hard drives, again addressed with a hotfix (you have to contact MS for that one). Again, it may or may not apply, but might be worth looking at.
