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. anthony ps. never trust a cd boot install with a N(ot)T(rustworthy) based product ----- Original Message ----- From: "Craig White" To: Sent: Monday, September 02, 2002 8:45 AM Subject: Re: [OT] Win2k Adv Svr > On Sun, 2002-09-01 at 23:33, plug@bryceco.net wrote: > > Ok, this is REALLY off topic but it does stem from linux in less than 20 steps. I was upgrading a couple servers yesterday, linux ( :-) ) and win2k adv svr ( :-( ). Naturally, the linux server went perfectly but win2k 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? > > > ---- > Boot Win2K CD > > Choose install > > let it locate existing installation > > Choose to repair it > > Install service packs as required > > Craig > -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: > http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss >
