[OT] Win2k Adv Svr

[tickticker]

I rely on the floppies, and press F6 during the first disk and load the new
controller driver when asked, then repair and use the new driver.

ps. never trust a cd boot install with a N(ot)T(rustworthy) based product

sucks! (ok, i already knew that.).  Anyway, it seems that when you change
win2k's harddisc controller, i.e. differebt motherboard, all hel breaks
lose.  Win2k doesn't know how to boot.  I know that re-installing would fix
this (with several restarts) but that would wipe the registry etc.  Can
anyone PLEASE help me out here?  I do have write access to the NTFS volume
if neccessary but I really need this server up ASAP.  (Damn vendor, won't
write for linux).  Can someone please guide me somewhere that might lead to
resolution?
