Go to Win2k support website and check to see if all your hardware is supported... if they are not, check the manufacturer's website to see if the latest win2k drivers are avaliable... if so, download them and keep them handy, cuz you'll need them...

Other than that, I see no problems... Good Luck and enjoy win2k! It's great!

Extraxt your controller drivers onto a floppy. Then you need to Press F6 at the beginning of setup... it says Press F6 to install SCSI/RAID drivers on the bottom of the screen. Then proced to install your controller drivers.

I don't expect problems with the listed hardware. Make sure all your external hardware (printer, scanner, game controllers, etc) are supported.

Can someone give me the direct link to the drivers page on the WIN2K website?

Thank you.
