A7V WIn2k problem

Hi I am trying to install Win2k on a T-Bird system

The system is configured as followed:

Primary IDE : Maxtor 7200 HD (master) (c:,d:,e:,f🙂
Secondary IDE : Memorex 48x CD-ROM (master)
Plextor 8/4/32 CD-R (slave)

Primay ATA100 IDE : empty
Secondary ATA100 IDE : empty

After Win2k copied the files, finished the basic set up (time zone..), install network.
Right after it asked for typical network, not with a workgroup.. it will stall loading and install some files.
Half way through, it will ask for the CD-ROM again. "Please insert the floppy called Win2k ... CD-ROM" It will display the G: drive (CD drive) and the file name. But what is weird is that it dosn't show the CD-ROM. So it was unable to loading the files off the CD.

Can anyone help me out here?
 
Win2K has a problem seeing drives on the secondary ide channel. Either install bios 1004c or 1004d. Or you can dl & install the lastest promise drivers. Shut down & move you hard drive to primary ATA 100. Move your cd(s) to the primary IDE 66. Boot into your bios & under the boot section make your boot order: floppy - SCSI device/Promise ATA 100 Contoller - cd. The ATA 100 is backwards compatiable so it doesn't matter what hard drive you are using (66/100) you will be fine.
