Fortress 0 Posted March 26, 2001 I Have an Asus A7v133 and i cant Install Win2000, Ive got some error that say that win2000 cannot copy files like ntd.dll etc etc to the disk or if we i use i Ghost image of win2000, ive got error like Inacessible boot device. The Drive i use its a Quantum 20gig ATA100 but i have installed win2000 on it on a Intel System and no problem. Help Share this post Link to post
Xiven 0 Posted March 26, 2001 Sorry, if I'm stating the obvious here. Did you get an ATA driver disk with the motherboard? If so, you'll need to press F6 when win2k setup says "Press F6 to install 3rd party SCSI drivers", insert the disk and install the drivers. Share this post Link to post
Fortress 0 Posted March 26, 2001 Yes we have try with the driver on the Asus CD and with the latest driver on asus.com but the same thing happen. Now i think its probably the memory that cause this problem, it is possible?? Share this post Link to post
Brian Frank 0 Posted March 26, 2001 Its a little less hair-raising if you just hook up the hard drive to the non ATA100 primary controller and install Windows then install the drivers for the Promise controller. After that, then go ahead and hook the hard drive up to the Promise controllers and see if the problem goes away. Thats the way I do it. Ive done it the other way, but its just less stressful this way. Share this post Link to post
Fortress 0 Posted March 26, 2001 Well, its not the memory, i have try another time with installation of the ATA100 driver but just after, ive got an Inaccessible boot device Share this post Link to post
HarU 0 Posted March 26, 2001 Brian is right on this. You will continue to have problems if you try to install it on the ATA-100 controller. I have the EXACT setup as you, and it didn't matter how much i tried to get win2k installed, it would not work with the hard drive on the ATA controller. Hook the drive up as single master on Primary IDE controller and install win2k. Boot into windows, then install ALL motherboard drivers, including Promise drivers. You should flash the bios to any version equal to or later than 1004. Thats the one i have. I think it is the latest, but i may be wrong. After this, you should put it back on the ATA controller, and it will boot. If it does not, i recommend getting a new drive or motherboard. Either the controller is bad, or the drive is. Thats IF you try what brian and i suggest, and it doesn't work. Good luck. Let us know what happens. Oh yeah, one other quick thing, make sure you don't have any pci cards in slot 2. Slot 2 shares IRQ with the promise controller. [This message has been edited by HarU (edited 26 March 2001).] Share this post Link to post
