    Inaccessible Boot Device BSOD Win2K

     
    I am installing a new MB and processor (Biostar MGIV, 1.8G AMD to an Asrock w/ AMD 3000 Venice). When I reboot, Windows begins to load, after the Thermometer finished, I get the BSOD Inaccessible Boot Device

    I suppose I just reload Win2K but I was hoping to avoid that. Anyone else seen this?

    Note. Microsoft says to run the repair option with the Win2K CD. That didn't fix it. AUUGH

    Here's what I did. I assumed that the new IDE driver was simply too much for an upgrade. I installed another copy of Windows2000 on another drive D: and reinstalled the programs that I wanted. I still have the old copy in case I find a way to install the IDE drivers before bootup.

    System is working. Now if I can just find the boot.ini file
