I am having a bit of fun with a fresh install of Windows
2000 Pro on a Compaq Presario 7500. The original hard
drive failed so I replaced it with a Maxtor 40Gb IDE
drive. The BIOS did not auto-detect the new drive, but I
missed this until after I installed the OS. Install
apparently went without a hitch and all runs well, except
that every time Windows starts it want to check the file
system. This fails with a message that the disk "appears
to be a non-Windows 2000 disk"!
I have since updated the BIOS and forced the BIOS to
recognise the new drive, but the errors persist.
Question: Is there any way of fixing this without
reinstalling Windows 2000? I think not, but I would like
to be proved wrong!
Cheers,
Bill
