I formatted a new 111Gb (120,000,000) drive and thought I'd use the
installation tools to let them transfer the OS stuff from my 15 Gb drive to
the replacement drive. It all says that it works fine, but when I swap out
the new one to be the master, I get the following black screen error on
startup:
Windows 2000 could not start because of a computer disk hardware
configuration problem. Could not read from selected boot disk. Check boot
path and disk hardwared. Please check the Windows 2000 (TM) documentation
about hardware disk configuration and your hardware manuals for additional
information.
System:
ASUS A7V333 mobo (not using RAID at present)
256 Mb RAM
AMD Athlon XP+ 2100 CPU
W 2K Pro SP4 & all security patches
IE 6 and all patches
USB Scanner/Zip 100
2 CD R/Ws on Secondary IDE
WD 120 Gb Primary Master Boot disk (some day) NTFS
Maxtor 80 Gb Primary Slave disk
3Com Ethernet 10/100 PCI
G Force4 MX440 (NIVIDA) video (MSI MS-StoarForce)
Floppy drive
SOME WEIRD device attempting to be registered (but I don't allow it because
it makes no sense) "B ER H"
TIA!
