euankirkhope 0 Posted December 6, 2000 I ***ume you have: a. moved the old harddrive to another location/cable? b. have removed it. c. have copied the data from old one to new one? If a >> put the old one back to primary master (or where ever it was) If b >> same as a If c >> same as a, the boot sector is gone. make a bootdisk. if the bootpartition FAT or fat32 then get bootpart from www.winimage.com/bootpart.htm and boot to dos then repair the bootsector. If the partition is NTFS, either use your emergency repair disk and win2000 CDROM setup and pick repair, or use an NT bootdisk and use bootpart from within win2000. Also try disabling UDMA66, and check UDMA100 is not set in the harddrive's bios. Share this post Link to post
yakkob 0 Posted December 7, 2000 Its a mobo problem. I have the BP6 too, to rectify this you will have to use a bog standard EIDE lead, and not use the UDMA66. It's a shame I know, but fear not, help is at hand, even if it is a little long winded. Personally, I couldn't be ar$ed to try this, but see how you go > http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00007.asp GL Yak -- Share this post Link to post
