I have decided to install windows 2000 on my computer which has Win98 right now. I went for a clean install. the installation went through without a problem. But after the first restart and the first startup of windows 2000 i got this message:
*** STOP: 0x0000007b (and so on)
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
If this happens....:
check for viruses, remove newly installed hard drives or hard drive controllers, make sure hard drive properly configured and terminated.
I checked for viruses and found none. I am guessing it is the hard drive controller. I found the drivers for the controllers. It is an Asus motherboard with a VIA Apollo Pro133A chipset. I found the drivers in the via website. Now how do i install the drivers?
I tried re-installin win2k and press F6 to use the drivers i downloaded and put in a floppy. but when i did it said it couldn't find txtsetup.oem file
the file i downloaded was a zip file. it was a 4-in-one zip file from the via website. and inside the zip file was a setup.exe file but there were also some folders. one of them was a IDEWin2k folder with a .sys,.dll,.cat,.inf files. those what were i put on the disk. I tried searchin for any .oem files in the expanded folder but found none. the whole extracted folder is 1.43MB.
Thank you very much for any help!!!
