When installing on the sata drive did you hit f6 and use the sata drivers ?
yeah, but now I have given up on the 2K
I have seen clones of w2k do this, no idea why, even on intel
mb's. w2k was very fussy.
any error message on Blue screen ?
nothing meaningfull
seems to me these are generally software or device driver problem
related, but has been awhile since I seen one.
my system is 2 wd 500gb sata drives and two pata dvd's ( rom and
burner) video is 7600gs, 2 gb of corsair xms
If it were me, and the bug started with the sata drive I might be
tempted to go back to pata boot, if not for no other reason then to test it.
Also, I hope you did not update the sata drivers from ms update. very bad.
no... I starting to think that maybe I need to do a clean install...
maybe something got corrupt.
