New install on an older computer

[Pierre Tremblay]

I bought an OEM copy of Win2k. The first part of the
install goes fine but when it reboots to finish I get a
stop error 0x0000007b (0xf901b84c, 0xc0000034, ...)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. I am installing on a Pentium
II, 300MHz, 184 mg RAM with the latest BIOS update.

Hi Pierre,

There are a couple of reasons why we can see this error, but mostly likely
we are not providing the correct Raid/SCSI controller driver during setup.
Download the correct Raid/SCSI controllers from the computer manufacturer
and then during setup choose the F6 option right after you start setup.
That will allow you to specify the correct driver using the floppy you
created from the vendor and put the correct controller driver in place.

Thanks,
