OK... I hope I didn't get your hopes up too much. I just talked to one of our senior engineers and he says it's possible, but it'd probably be more trouble than it was worth. Our product focuses on Tape and Disk-based storage, not optical. However, if you have a large enough hard drive on the...

I'll give that a try... thanks for the suggestion. - Vern

Any chance of getting an additional machine and performing a network DR? If so, check out this product: http://www.bakbone.com/product...ster_recovery/vaultdr/ It'll perform a complete backup of the system, including all partition data and settings and restore it accordingly. It'll...

Well... I thought I had it figured out, but no go. I tried a different HDD and the O/S installed OK and, FINALLY one of the game installs worked just fine (LOTR). Unfortunately, now I'm having a few other problems that are leading me to believe that there's something pretty wrong with the...

OK... Tried all suggestions, CHKDSK brings up nothing when I run it (all seems good). As far as installing the old drivers goes, get this... When I access the Device Manager and the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" node, there's duplicates of all of the entries: Primary IDE Channel (x2)...

If installing the old drivers doesn't work, take this into consideration: Is it the only CD-type device in your system (e.g., do you have a DVD drive, too?). If so, you need to check the jumper settings on the back of both devices. If both are set to "MASTER" you may get conflicts and one...

That's what I thought... thanks again for all the help!

D'oh!! I just got the "M$" acronym reference! Are you referring to the "IDE ATA/ATAPI Devices" node in the Device Manager window of Win2K? If so, I'll take a look at these when I get home. Thanks again, - Vernholio

Great guys... thanks a lot for the tips! KGBMAN... how would I go about getting and reverting to the "M$ IDE" drivers? - Vernholio

That's what I figured you meant by the channels. I do have them on separate channels. IDE-0 houses the HDD's while IDE-1 houses the CD/DVD drives. I've fiddled around with the Master/Slave settings, swapping between the DVD writer as master and the CD as slave to start, followed by flipping...

Also, on a side note since you brought up "chkdsk", I've noticed that after applying Service Pack 4 and rebooting, Win2K automatically runs "chkdsk" before actually booting the O/S and displays the results (unfortunately too fast for me to gather info). I've never noticed this before when...

First off, thanks a lot for the welcome! In response to your questions: Yes, every time I'm performing a fresh install of Win2K, fully formatting the HDD each time. I have not run scandisk/chkdsk, yet but I will try that. The errors are related to the app I'm installing (mostly games)...

Hey all, I just put together a new system, comprised of the following: New Components: ASUS K8N Motherboard (just the K8N, not the "-E Deluxe") - OnBoard Audio and 10/100 NIC (which I'm using) - BIOS ver. 1.003 (the version that came installed) AMD Athlon 3000+ Processor 1 GB of RAM...
