Win2K keeps locking up after installing drivers.

[Beeker50 0]

I have just installed Win2k on drive D, I am doing a dual boot of Win98SE and win2k. After I install a new driver, I get the Blue Screen of death in Win2k KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 0x0000001E

It did this aftre installing my Asus v6600 drivers, my Hollywood + drivers, my Adaptec 29160 drivers. no matter what I install, I get thwe blue screen of death. I haven't installed any of the Win2k patches yet, do I need to do this first or dos that not matter.

My system is as follows; Asus K7V bios Rev. 1007.01a beta

700 Mhz Athlon Classic

Adaptec 29160

2-Seagate Cheatah 18XL

Asus V6600 Deluxe GeForce

SBLIVE paltinum

Hollywood+

3Com 56k Modem

Hauppauge Win Tv-D

Iomega Zip 250 Internal Atapi

Plextor 12/4/32 SCSI

Plextor 40X CD Rom SCSI

Pioneer 16X DVD Atapi

256 MB PC133 Micron Memory

My drives are set up as follows;

SCSI ID:0 Drive C: Win98SE 8.75 Gig

Drive D: Win2K 8.75 Gig

SCSI ID:! Drive E empty (to use for Win98Se

Drive F empty(to use for Win 2K

 

 

I am about to reformat both drives and start from scratch. What is the best way to partition each HD-size wise foreach OS and program files. I was planning on using 1 HD for Win98SE and 1 HD for Win2k

Each drive with only 1 partition on it

SCSI ID:0 Drive C

SCSI ID:1 Drive D

Would this be the best way, or should I partition each hard drive with more that 1 partition? What are the advantages of using more than 1 partition on each HD.I have gottrn into the desktop of WIN 2k and really like the interface and operation of it, I just need to know how to setup all of m hardwar on it so it wont crash or lock up. ALL help is greatly apprciated.

I had the same problem, I installed Win2k Server, then installed the motherboard drivers, and when I restarted, I got the evil bluescreen. I wasn't sure why, but I decided to try Win2k Pro instead, and it worked fine without the MB drivers. I have since installed all of my sound and video driver with no problems.

 

I would suggest not installing your Mb drivers, unless you get them from their site, and they say specifically that they are W2K compatible.

 

At long last, I can finally play Quake3.
