This might be long so please forgive me, but I am about to give up. I have tried to get 2000 running for several months on the following machine:
Asus Cusl2-c Bios 1009 Pentium 1Ghz
Sound Blaster Live Value
2 WD 30Gb 7200 Hard drives C:= Windows 98 D:= Win 2k (NTFS)
Asus v7100 deluxe vid card
512 Mb Ram
Pioneer Slot load DVD
TDK 12x10x32 CDRW
Trendnet 10/100 Nic
I can always get 2000 to install and last for about a week. However It always seems to get corrupt. I use to think that it was a hardware problem because I use to have a promise ultra ata card installed. I finally removed it this week and then reloaded 2000. Now I try to boot to 2k and get the following error: \winnt\system32\drivers\pci.sys is either missing or corrupt. It then suggests that I boot from the cd and try the recovery options. I do this and of course it cannot even detect my 2k installation.
It should be noted that I always install the lastest inf updates as well as service pack 2. I have also formatted these drives several times including using a utility to write 0's to the drive. I am able keep 2k working on all of my other machines but this one seems to hate me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
