Existing Win2K on new 8k7a?? THIS IS SO STUPID!!

[AlGood]

i got an asus p3bf with a hardrive that has windows 2000 on it which runs fine. I am switching to an epox 8k7a.
When win2k boots on the 8k7a, during the second boot screen, a blue screen of death comes up with the "stop error" about "invalid boot device" or something. what the hell yo... i mean, its read the harddrive up until that point, it started booting win2k right? why does it all of the sudden crash?
When i installed win2k on a be6-II i had to make a floppy with the hpt366 IDE controller driver on it and specify "SCSI" device, worked fine. I tried it with this, but i cant get win2k setup to recognize the VIA drivers on the floppy (8k7a uses the VIA south bridge ide controller). so what can i do? right now i plugged the harddrive back into the asus p3bf system.
Can i maybe trick windows by installing the VIA drivers now, before i put it in the 8k7a system? I tried, but the VIA drivers wont install (something about a string not found). win2k is a cranky piece of crap when it comes to ide controllers.
please help. somebody, anybody....
thanks
(also, on the be6-II, win2k installations keep getting screwed up after a while: during the first black boot screen a msg saying missing or corrupted WINDOWS/CONFIG/blablabalba/SYSTEM32/SYSTEMd, win2k dies at that point. this a virus messing with me? if it is, i really hope some idiot sorry ass geek is getting a good geeky ass chuckle out of it.) :|

You are changing to a totally different chipset, a fresh install is in order.

Your best option is to do what Insane said.  You can try deleting the ENUM key from your registry before you turn the system off and transfer the HD.  Then when windows starts up in the new system it'll find all the hardware in your new system and prompt you for drivers it can't find.  But it doesn't allways go smoothly and you may have to re-install anyway.
