i have (2) maxtor 7200rpm's on a abit hotrod 100 raid card on an abit KA7. I am running 2000 . I can get them to work fine in 2000 as an extra drive, but it is impossible for me to boot off of them. i always get the "NTLDR missing" error or it freezes at the beginning of the "F8" screen.

help a fellow out!!!

I don't have a RAID setup, but I was getting this same error when I replaced my C drive, and even copied my old one over to the new one.

I went through the install process and did a repair.
Don't do repair when it first comes up though, that just seems to be a fancy dos prompt. Choose new install, tell it to go where Win2k is currently installed, and then it will tell you there is already an installation there and do you wish to repair it.
After all that, your system should boot, and you'll need to reinstall service packs.
Other than that, all my stuff was still intact.
