Hugo 0 Posted September 18, 1999 I know this has been talked about a lot, but I can't even get Windows 2000 to install on my Western Digital ATA/66 HD. It starts out fine, but then after loading up the new drivers from betanews.com for the ATA66 controller it chugs a few more seconds then as it says Windows 2000 starting I get an error to the effect of "can't access boot device..." Has anyone gotten this combination to work: Abit BP6 (dual celeron) Western Digital ATA66 18 GB HD Windows 2000 (build 2128) Thanks for any replies. I have tried the latest beta BIOS from the firingsquad.com, but it didn't change anything. I don't know if the flashing of the BIOS took or not as my BIOS date didn't change, still 06/08/99. Thanks again Share this post Link to post
Igor 0 Posted September 19, 1999 ATA66 controller has VERY big timing problems with WD ata66 drives only with WD though... there is a BIOS update for it, I just can't remeber where I saw it. I think u can just e-mail ABIT asking for beta Win2k drivers. Share this post Link to post
Igor 0 Posted September 20, 1999 One of the earlyer beta bioses had ATA66 bios version 1.10 and the newer beta only has 1.09... Check if ya bios version is 1.10 or 1.09. Share this post Link to post
