I cant seem to get past the install of W2K because hard disks arent detected,I have pressed F6 to load drivershoping that that would fix the problem.I put the drivers on a floppy for my onboard ATA controller but it dosent find them,It states something about OEM file not found.I am trying to load WIN 2000 on a second freshly formatted HDD (D Drive).I already have 98se on my C drive,Maybe I am doing something wrong here any help would be great..

You have to install W2K on the HD while it is plugged into the non-ATA100 IDE first, then install the ATA100 drivers under W2K. W2K won't recognize the HD when it is plugged into an ATA66/100 channel until the drivers are loaded. And the boot disks have the drivers on them, but I couldn't ever get it to work.

What type of a motherboard do you have? Is this the Highpoint ATA100, or the Promise?

Yea its the promise,If I load it using the VIA controller and then load drivers on it,and Then plug it back into my Promise controller when I boot with both HDD (C=98SE, D=W2K) will it give me the option of which OS I want to boot to,Dosent my 98se need some type of boot log to give me the choice
