Problem loading up WIndows 2000...Help!

I recently built a computer using the CUSL2-C motherboard.

I am using my hard drive from my old computer,
which is a Maxtor Diamond Plus 40 ATA 100 running windows 2000.

I am receiving an error message when I boot up the hard drive.

The message is "STOP parameter, paramter, INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" with an entire blue background.

The bios detects the hard drive, but I can't seem to load up the operating system.

I tried using the "maxblast" disk, which is an install utility that came with the hard drive, but when I load it up, the whole system freezes.

Any ideas on how this error message occurred and how to get my hard drive to work?! Maybe I need to update my BIOS? please help! Thanks in advance.
 
While setting up did you install the intel ata100 drivers?
You should get a prompt to install any storage device drivers while running setup.
 
Is Win2k installed already on the HD when you installed it into your new computer or are you having trouble installing Win2k or you have Win2k installed, but you get the message after you installed Win2k?
 
Got it up and running.

Just booted my computer up with win2k cd and ran a REPAIR.

Don't know exactly how it worked.

Thanks for your input everyone.
