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?
