I have a nice clean install of Win2k on a DVD-R that I created in Ghost for the purpose of cloning to a new system. It was created on a PATA drive and I changed the PATA drivers back to the MS standard 2 channel drivers for compatibility purposes.
I?ve used this DVD-R a number of times to clone or reinstall systems with no problems. However, I?ve never tried to do this with a SATA drive until now.
I can?t get it to work and I?m not sure whether it?s because I have the wrong SATA driver or whether it?s just not possible.
The method I used was to try a repair from the Win2k Setup process and provide drivers for the Promise controller on the Asus A8V Deluxe, when asked.
It didn?t accept the drivers from the Asus CD, so I downloaded what I thought were the correct drivers from Promise?s website which were accepted, but Win2k couldn?t find a disk.
I?ve read that this type of repair is possible on XP but does anybody know whether it works with 2000?
I?m going to try the latest drivers from Asus?s website tomorrow, but I need to go to bed now. So if anyone knows whether I?m chasing up a blind alley then please let me know and I?ll get on with a fresh install first thing tomorrow.
Note. The BIOS is setup to use the Promise Controller in Non-RAID mode and can see the Samsung drive.
