In my experience W2k cannot handle being away from its orginial system. Ie moving a hard drive into a completly new system. Similar hardware seems logical, I think mobo is the big one.
its the chipset. i have tried to replace the my old desktop with a newer one and win2k paniced after booting. the problem is that win2k cannot find the driver for the chipset and therefore cannot find a boot device.
the time i checked this (12 month ago) the problem was an official unresolvable bug.
