I lost Dual Boot, how to restore?

[PhoeniX]
Hello I had to copy my whole C: partition to a new hard drive. Well something went wrong and I had to re-install Win2000 Pro, after this I was able to boot Win2000, but not Win98. After I choose Windows 98 in the boot menu, I get an error msg: Invalid System, change disk.

ATX Problem on Windows 2000

Mak Man
The problem I am having deals with my ATX case. When I had Windows 98 my system would shut off when I selected shutdown in Windows. Now that I have Win2000 Pro my system won't shut off when I select shutdown.

Dual Booting Windows 2000 from two drives

Dirty Harry
What I want to achieve is to easily copy my Win 2000 main boot partition to another HD in the same machine, then boot from this copy and play around with it, being sure that the original stays untouched.

G400 Asus P2B and AGP lock ups in OpenGL

Hooch
First off I'll apologize as I have posted this same question in Tips and tricks. . . . I have been having a hell of a time getting Win2k (2195) to run Quake III. In win98 it turned out to be a matter of using a reggy hack and forcing AGP1x.

Ensoniq ES1371 problems

Bka32
I have an Ensoniq ES1371 sound card, and I am trying to enable the microphone for it, but am having no luck. Win2k installs the card as a 1370, and when I change it to 1371, it says its ok, but it doesn't make any sounds, and the CPU maxes out.

Lexmark 5700

kgeissler
I spoke with Lexmark today about Win2k drivers for the 5700 and was told they aren't going to make any drivers for this printer because they could not get them to work. What a bunch of crap. Time to by an HP or Epson.

Shut down in Win2000

Dredd
Wanted to know if anyone knows how to fix my PC so when I choose shutdown it actually turns the PC off for me. I have an Aopen AX63Pro and I just flashed it with the new bios. I also have an Abit BE6II and when I installed 2000 on that it shuts down for me.
