hi thx,i tryed that but still no luck i must have been doing some thing wrong,i ended up gettin the 1251 htp366 driverupdate from the abit site for the bp6 under win2k and doing a fresh install,and this time i got it to install no probs,useing win2k server,however i still had probs from time to time when win2k rebooted it would hang and during defrag would hang,but i think that was my fault,i prb botched a file somewhere with all my messing around,other than that thing went well games ran well etc,prob with sp1 and 2 it would run even betta,seems the hpt366 drivers for win2k frm the hpt site are not the ones to use,the abit ones work though,i ened up takeing win2k i,lll try it again later maybe i had a boot sector virus,maybe the drivers still have probs

i use the standard hotrod drivers from the web sit the only thing is when i install windows i have to put the hdd on my mb ide instead of through the hotrod

then i change it over but it only works if u put it in the secondary port (dont ask me why it just does)

If your talking about Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 then yes there is one. It's currently in beta testing. It works fine here.
