The key is that it works fine on the UDMA/33 controller. If the drive was partitioned and formatted on the 33 controller, you can't move it to the 66 without setting it back up; there will be issues reading the drive and communicating with it, and this will cause the problem. If you set up the 13 gig from scratch on the 66 controller the problem will go away. Make sure you have the newest update for the HPT too, just to be sure. ------------------

I think a lot of people are just plain missing the point. Windows 2000 isn't the successor to Windows 98; it's the next evolution from Windows NT, and it does a great job of it. My recommendation is one from what I saw in another post here... if 2000 doesn't do all that you want it to, dual boot 98 and 2k. When newer drivers are released for the operating system to cover many of the devices out there that aren't supported, you might be able to make it the OS of your choice; but it's designed as a business application, not the home PC/all-inclusive gamer's solution. ------------------

Hey what do you know... that's what it's for. Windows 2000 was never meant to be a gaming platform, it's a replacement for Windows NT and is designed for a business application. Used for what it's intended purpose is, I think you would find it a suitable upgrade. Wait for Windows ME. ------------------
