Asus TNT1 Video Card (I've tried a different Video Card)
Gigabyte GA-686lx (Latest BIOS, and previous version)
P2-300
128mb
Sound Blaster compatible PCI card (I've tried without this card) Linksys LNE100tx
Maxtor 7Gb HDD
 
I've installed Win2k Pro, Server, & Advanced Server on several PC configurations, never had it do this.
 
I've installed Win95, 98, & ME with no problems at all on this PC. I've tried Upgrading/Clean Install (Dual boot) from within Windows, and from a clean hard drive... No Difference.
 
 
Any Ideas?

Try setting the IDE hard drive detection to AUTO in bios.
