Hello, I am trying to install Win2K OS on a Compact Flash disk. I Bios sees
the drive and i am able to start the installation. But when the system
reboots for the frist time after it's has copied the files to the flash disk
i receive and error message. " A Disk Read Error Occureded" and i'm not able
to continue with the installation. Is it possible to install Win2K on a
Flash Disk? If so what am i doing wrong. Thanks in advances for you help.

Win2K is not designed to be installed upon a Flash Disk, or any other
type of external disk.

Only way I know of is if the "CF disk" is plugged into the IDE system.
There are some hardware/MB that allows this.(not your run of the mill
desktop PC motherboards) And then the card is read as an IDE drive. Any
"removable" drive setup isn't going to work.
