Ok the problem is I can't get win2k to except the install of my free maxtor ultra ata 100
card that came with my hd. It will not let me install the drivers it keeps saying that there was an error trying to find the files specified. I am having the same problem installing a modem on the same system. I have done a manual and auto install of the drivers with the same results. I have tried three different modems all with the same problem. I am dual booting win98se and win2kpro. the win98se hasn't had one problem with the installation of the ata card or the modem.
system:
dual boot win2kpro and win98se
p3v4x mb pent3 600@800 pep66 fan@heatsink
384megs of mushkin case 2
maxtor 7200rpm 20 gig and new 30 that came with pci ultra ata 100 card(that won't work)
2cds one writer and one generic

I think I have seen this before, once.

I down loaded the newest drivers from the promise site, saved them to the HDD, and installed from there.

Good Luck.

Try the newest promise drivers. Your maxtor ATA100 card is just a rebadged promise, and promise probably updates the drivers more frequently than Maxtor.
