Boot your PC off the Win2k Pro CD and try a repair. Is your new mobo identical to the one that went bad ? If not, good chance you have a different chipset from your old mobo. Also, check your BIOS settings for your hard drive.

Yup, if you install a new motherboard, definetly reinstall completely. Graphics card hasn't been a problem when I've done it...but I might have just been lucky :smokin:

Although on Sunday I'll be installing my new Abit KA7 mobo and GeForce 2 GTS...so will have to reinstall Windows 2000...will try those new Creative Dxr3 drivers as well
