Win2K boot problems ... HELP!!!!!

I had a perfectly running installation of Win2k on my K6-2 366. I had an extra 566 Celeron lying around so I bought a new MB (Soyo 7VCA). After switching motherboards I can no longer boot into 2K. I recieve a "Ntldr is missing" message. I just figured that it was corrupt so I made a NT/2K boot disk to load into 2k. Now on the splash screen I recieve a "INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error.

I initially thought that it was because of the HDD controller but Win2K installation can see the drive without use of any extra drivers. Any ideas on how to get around this??
 
I didnt get the same errors, but after installing a new chipset with W2k, it tended to get a little.. pissy. My W2k wouldnt load after installing an A7V duron config on my old K62 FIC. It just wasnt happy with me. I could load up into safe mode alright, but otherwise it was just being nasty. (I dont remember the error message, sorry). I reinstalled W2k and now all is fine, for all intents and purposes 😱. Ive heard from multiple people that W2k is ok with CPU changes, just dont change the mobo chipset. I think this COULD be your problem. But Id get a second opinion first, just in case.
