I just installed windows 2000 professional & finally got it to see the rest of the network users, but when I transfer 1 certain folder from a W98SE workstation the W2k system reboots in the middle of the transfer.
I am able to copy any other folders and paste them on the w2k system without any trouble. Why the hell does the system just automaticly reset?
There are no error messages or symptoms to track down.
any help would be great
thanks

Well I have found out that it does the random rebooting on any large files that are being copied accross the network. I have installed service pack 1 & 2 with no changes. Changed the PCI slot that the NIC was in & no change. All network functions are normal & operating. Just this 1 glich that is killin me.

I have a couple of suggestions for you to try... 1)Have you tried turning off the reboot on error located in the System Properties > Advanced > Startup & Recovery?
2)Are you running any VirusScan software on either machine? It sounds like a virus is being detected by either the board (set in the BIOS) or by your VS software and it may be set to shutdown on detection. Try scaning the folder before transfer. 3) Lastly try scaning the system for corrupt files in that folder. It may be detecting acorrupt file and is set to shutdown when this happens.
Hope this helps?
