Mattimeo Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Have you checked the setup logs? If its during setup, are you sure all the hardware is on the HCL? Its prolly a hardware issue, not a software unless you are using 3rd party RAID drivers that are not WHQL certified.

Marsden Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Look up the specific hardware on the MS HCL list. If it supported it will be listed. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/206342-w2k-server/#findComment-584434793 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eversurf Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 first of all you are not suppose to install Windows 2000 server after Windows XP 98 2000 XP or 2003 the problem you are running into is cause because the boot partition is all weireded out. To solve the problem boot in the recovery console mode and run the command fixboot. Have fun!!!
