Nope - its worse!
I cleaned the HD using KillDisk - as suggested here - but, now - even
though I have BIOS Set to boot from CD - it keeps trying to boot from
the SSD HD - and claims Disk Boot Failure! This is KILLING Me - and is
turning out to be a Totally PITA!

You are able to boot up on the install cd but it won't allow you to install on
your hard drive? What error or message are you seeing?

Hey folks,
Some of you may remember I posted recently about trying to revive a Dead PC of
mine using an older Win XP Pro 64 OS install - that I was missing the Prod. Key
for.
Well - long story short - kinda - I found my Win2K install CD - and I installed
Win2K on that PC - so it was relatively up and running. But, the Video card in
that baby is a Hi-End one for 3D CG - a Quadro 2000D job. Problem is - no
drivers for it for Win2K. Not shocking - since W2K is Way old - where as the
Video card is only like maybe 2 years old.
As such, I broke down and got myself an OEM CD of Win7 64-bit Home version.
Just bought it yesterday.
Problem seems to be that since its supposed to be installed on a NEW PC - its
like it REFUSED to get installed onto this PC where I installed W2K. I even
wiped the HD - removed the OS install - and did a Quick Format. But, when I try
to then boot this PC with that W7 install CD - it just keeps trying to boot to
that HD (its actually an SSD). And, now I get the error that Boot Mgr is
missing - so, obviously is trying to boot to that SSD HD.
So - its like M$ has screwed me over - and will NOT Let me install this W7K onto this PC
- since it can "See" that Something had previously been installed on that HD -
and therefore - its no longer a NEW HD or NEW PC!
This is SO Frustrating. Yeah - I've built 3 of my previous PC systems - but,
I'm not a Serious HW kinda guy...
So - any advice would be GREATLY Appreciated!
TIA,
-K-
