Two hard drives 1x WD34300L 4.3 gig & 1x WD14300R 4.3 Gig. Formatted
both using pqmagic fat32 with no problems. Installed Win2k on 34300
with no problem. Tried installing Win2k on 14300 with no luck. On both
when I ran win2k installation disk I removed the partition and
installed a fresh copy of win2k and formatted the new partition ntfs.
Worked well with first but when the second arrived at the first
re-boot, message read "a disk read error occurred". I then installed
win98 on the 14300 with no problem, I just cant install win2k.
Its an older hard drive with no bad sectors and the only difference is
when checking both hard drives in the bios setup, the 34300 has 523
cylinders, 255 heads and 63 sectors and the Ultra DMA Mode is 2.
Checking the 14300, it has one more cylinder and reads 524 cylinders,
255 heads and 63 sectors and the Ultra DMA mode is 4.
Subtle difference but why can I install win2k on the second, any
suggestions would be appreciated...
