The Cellar - View Single Post - New build for win 2-K

Busterb,

You'll have to put the SATA drivers on a floppy (yes I am serious) and hit F6 during boot so that Win2K sees the SATA controller.

You'll need to use the Win2K CD, and then immediately apply Win2K SP4 and the Win2K Security Rollup 1 afterward, and then run Windows Update.

If you get a Western Digital SATA drive, you can just use the Data Lifeguard tools to image the drive (they work really well).

Also make sure you put the > 128GB HD Registry Fix in for Windows 2000 so that it recognizes it.

You'll also want to pick up an ATA to SATA power adapter if your SATA drive does not support standard power supply connections.

Thanks,

Mitch
