I've tried installing Win2k Pro & Adv. Server on a PC, everytime After it tries to copy files (after first Re-boot) It goes BSOD, with a 'unable to access boot drive' type message.
Asus TNT1 Video Card (I've tried a different Video Card)
Gigabyte GA-686lx (Latest BIOS, and previous version)
P2-300
128mb
Sound Blaster compatible PCI card (I've tried without this card) Linksys LNE100tx
Maxtor 7Gb HDD
I've installed Win2k Pro, Server, & Advanced Server on several PC configurations, never had it do this.
I've installed Win95, 98, & ME with no problems at all on this PC. I've tried Upgrading/Clean Install (Dual boot) from within Windows, and from a clean hard drive... No Difference.
Any Ideas?

Try setting the IDE hard drive detection to AUTO in bios.

OP
Thanks, It was set to Auto initially, so I set it manually, no avail, so I put it back to auto...
