I JUST finished putting together my new system, and I can't seem to install Win2k for the life of me. I've done countless reformats and installs before, from either playing too much with regedit, or just stupid mistakes, but I cannot figure this one out.
I start off, booting from the Win2k cd. All is fine. It wants to format to NTFS. Ok. It's done, neat. Now I have 4 irregularly sized partitions, none of which i can instal on, because the setup program is telling me thay are corrupt or not formatted.
Hmm.
I bring the new hd to this rig, format it, run scans and diagnostics on it, drive checks out fine. Pop it back into the new rig, and I get the same BS.
It's been 3 days of me trying to do this after work, and I have tried everything in my bag of tricks. Help?
New system specs:
C2D e6600
DS3
512 Kingston 667
Corsair 620w psu
seagate 7200.10 320gig, perp. recording drive
lite-on dvd-rw
evga 7900gs
