I installed a new ECS K7VTA3 rev8 motherboard along with a new 80gig 7200 Seagate hard drive and when I try to install Win2K Pro it fails and says i386.dll is missing. I took the hard drive to another computer and installed Win2K just fine. Then I put it back in the first computer and Win2K boots to the point of the Win2000 splash screen and then I get, stop:0x0000007B C0x5241B84C,(0x0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000) Inaccessable_Boot_Device. I've tried changing jumper settings on the hard drive from Master to CS but it still won't boot. I hope someone can help me. WrongWayJay

I've tried to run the repair option on the Win2K CD but during the device inspection I get a message "The file mountmgr.sys is corupted". I don't get it because it runs fine on another computer.

I finally found the problem myself. It wound up being a bad cd-rom. I tried a different cd-rom player and all my problems dissapeared.

Windows XP and Windows 2000 will not reidentify the ide controllers and install drivers for them.

So if you install on one machine and move to another, unless it is the exact same motherboard with the same chipset you will get the Inaccessable_Boot_Device.

You have to manually install the drivers or do an inplace upgrade.
