motherboard boot issues

I just changed my MOBO and when I boot up I get blue
screen Stop error. Inaccessible Boot Device. When I put in
the old MOBO it boots with no error. Win 2000 help.

Put in your old motherboard.
Boot into Windows.
Insert your Windows 2000 CD.
Windows will offer to "Upgrade" your O/S, allow it to do so.
At first reboot, power off.
Install your new motherboard.
Power up.
Windows will complete the Upgrade.

Ghost everything first as a CYA measure.
I've done this procedure a hunnert times with only a cuppla failures.

Is there any pattern to those failures?

I have somewhat the same issue. I have replaced the mobo and am still getting the Inaccessable_Boot_Device error. I used the article below to do this. The old mobo is dead so the upgrade way is out of the question. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do now? All replys are welcome.

What is the BIOS of the old verses the new
I have found that with AMI BIOS the boot devices have to be on the primary not the secondary. Awards can be anywhere any boot. Put it on the Primary Master
