Inaccessible_boot_device
LockedHelp, WIndows 2000 will not boot. We have just purchsed a new computer with the following American Megatrends bios R1007, on an ASUS P4P800 (AI) mother board, with Intel 865PE chipset it has onboard audio, and LAN card. Nvidia GE Force MX400 video card, and a Western Digital 40 Gig hard drive, and a Plextor CD writer. I have loaded Windows 98 SE, WIndows NT4.0, and Windows XP on this machine, with no Problems. But we need Windows 2000 on it, I can install it and, it’ll boot, I load all the proper drivers, and I have no issues in device manager, I have done all updates ok. However when I install Service pack 4. The machine will not boot. It loads Windows 2000 I get past the boot,ini file. (I get the white screen) Windows 2000 with the loader at the bottom stating Starting Windows, only to have the screen go blue and state Stop 0x0000007b Inaccessible_boot_device. And cannot proceed any further. Any help would be appreciated.
