Ok, I was able to get Win2K up and running. It has detected all my hardware and the ATi Radeon even loaded fine so far. My problem happens when I try to connect my other hard drvies to the SCSI chain.
This machine is using 3 hard drives, all SCSI. Two of these hard drives have been used before in a Win98 machine. Before I installed Win2K I went into the Tekram SCSI Bios and did a low-level format of the main drive. I also disconnected my other drives during the install as well; so, only one drive is present. Win2K detects it and I say to create two partitions on it C:\ and D:\. Everything is going fine.
I go to connect my other 2 hard drives to the SCSI chain. They have the correct id's and the channel is terminated. The Tekram card sees everything fine and I proceed to try and boot into Windows. That's when I get some kind of boot device error. Something about this may have happened when adding a new drive, etc. So I disconnect my extra two drives and restart. Windows boots back fine.
What could be causing the problem? I have data on one of the extra drives that I need to copy over to the new Win2K setup. That extra drive's file system is FAT32. THe only thing I can think of is that when I had this particular drive running under Win98, it's drive letter was D:\. Could this be interfering with the D:\ partition on the Win2K drive? I thought it would have just assigned another letter to that extra drive. Am I wrong? Can I delete that D:\ partition on the Win2K drive and try it then? Should that work? Thanks for the help.
