Did you set the jumpers correctly?

 

Its possible you could have a bad drive, too. Have you tried installing a different OS on that IBM drive?

If the jumpers were not setup correctly, the hard drive would not detect at start-up.

 

May want to change IDE cables (i assume its IDE b/c u didnt mention scsi) but i dont think it would give you that specific error everytime.

 

I would suggest as Brain Frank did....install any other OS to the hard drive and check it from there. If it does not install...i would prolly take it back.

 

Also...your other friend that cant install win2k, does he have same setup as you? And your other friend that can, does he have the same setup?

 

I dont think this is a config problem, because the drive is detected. Try it out for errors.
