I recently installed a new Maxtor 160 GB drive. Disk manager reports it as a
"maxtor SCSI Disk Device."

This cannot be correct because this is one of three Maxtor drives installed.
The other two drives are reposted "Maxtor ######." The words "SCSI Disk
Device" Do not follow after "Maxtor #####" like it does on the new Maxtor
160GB Device recently installed.

The 160GB is connected to a Ultra ATA/133 controller card. This card is
present in
Disk Manager.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Thankis

The drivers act like SCSI drivers. This is not a problem.

Dave,
I don't know what your statement means, but thanks.

I wrote an earlier question "Event Log Error Message." This is the place
where my problem starts.

Can't copy info onto the 160GB drive. System freezes. If my read of your
answer is correct, the fact that Device Manager lists the 160GB drive as a
"SCSI Disk Device" is not the cause of my problem.

If not the cause what is my next step?

Thanks

Thanks Dave,

I am reloading everything and haven't gotten to this step yet.

PS - Do you know of any issues before I go there, as relates to anti virus
software? Should I install before or after I go on line to upgrade and get
downloads?

Intuitively, I my answer is istall antivirus software befofre going on line
to get anything. So, I am looking for a second opinion.

Thanks

For any new install it is imperative that you install these before
connecting to any network or you'll be almost immediately infected.

I'm not aware of any problems or issues with Win2K SP1~SP4 with any AV software.

The best thing you can do is slipstream Win2K with SP4 and install using that. This way you
will have the patches for many vulnerabilities MINUS RPC/DCOM and LSASS. Therefore AV
software should be installed ASAP and also a FireWall software to prevent Internet worm
infections before HotFixes and post SP4 updates.

Dave,

Next piece of info needed.

Q: How do I know which update to install, 64-Bit Edition or the Edition
that is not 64-Bit?

This question comes up because of Microsoft Security Bulletin MS04-025
Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer (867801). (This is third
on your list of updates.)

All downloads are to my laptop and stored there. I will copy to CD and
install on my desktop from this CD.

Thanks

Since the only 64bit is WinXP (and you asked in a Win2K News Group) and is very expensive,
you would know if you had the 64bit OS ;-)

So the answer is the 32bit.
