-> you installed win2k after (?) sap bw 3.1...what was that for?

-> why split the one disk into 6 partitions? it's still one disk....

use only one partition - it should be sufficient for your needs [i suppose..otherwise you'd have more disks/disk-systems and no desktop ;-)]; install win2k and afterwards (not vice versa!) start installing db and sap software...

SAP installation may not cause any file system corruption at the level you are obtaining it. SAP - and as far as I know - all database vendors did use the Windows API to access the file system (as long as you are not using raw devices, which I can not recommend on Windows, because it is not tested by SAP).

First of all I would recommend you to check you hardware, if it looks fine check your device drivers.
