Asus P4T & Win2k install help
I bought a Asus P4T about a week ago and have been trying to install Win2k on this new system. When the 2k setup starts it prompts you to press F6 and give it a controller driver but none of the drivers I have found work.
I bought a Asus P4T about a week ago and have been trying to install Win2k on this new system.

I have tryed the 1005 bios update and drivers from Asus and Intel meeting the boot device blue screen every time. I'm stuck here in the hell that is Win98 and I cant get out can someone please help me. I'm about to give up on Asus and go with a Abit TH7-Raid if I can't get this fixed.

We got P4T's and P4 1.4Ghz at the university and they run real great, fast as hell. So the mobo isn't incompatible with Win2k. Intel's site is down right now, but I remember they released some updated chipset and motherboard drivers you may want to check it out. When you press F6, you are trying to load an external SCSI/IDE/RAID Driver if you aren't using that channel for your hard disk you can bypass it or install the OS by using the default motherboard channels and then mess around with it after.
