Hi,

I tried moving Windows 2000 server successfully on an IDE drive and had
successfully boot on the new machine by repairing the installation using the
Windows 2000 boot disk. My question is does the procedure will work on SCSI
drives?

Thank you in advance.

Depending on your SCSI controler.

Normaly with IDE HD, the boot.ini looks like this:

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect

With a SCSI drive, it will look like this (always
depending on the SCSI controler

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
SCSI(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft
Windows 2000 Professional" /fastdetect
