I would expect (although you haven't mentioned your hardware) that the drive is on a ATA66/UDMA2 controller.

 

W2K will not natively support these devices, so you have to get the W2K drivers from the vendors web site, and either install them during setup when asked for additional SCSI drivers, or put the drive on a regular IDE port, install W2K, install the drivers then place it back on the ATA66.
