I just upgraded my mom's computer from an Abit BH6/P2-350 to MSI Pro2/Duron 700.. The rest of the components are exactly the same.
It was running win2k.. When I try to boot w/ the new mobo combo, it gave me a blue screen - I figured this is as expected because I'm changing from Intel to AMD. Then I reformated the partition (tried both NTFS and FAT32) and tried to reinstal win2k and it does not work. After the first boot, it scans for the hardware and everytime I did it, it ended with a blue screen that says "hardware malfunction, please contact your hardware vendor" After several times doing this, I gave up and installed win98se.. It's working fine now. But is there a compatibility issue with MSI Pro2 & win2k? Anyone else experienced this?
