INACCESSABLE BOOT DEVICE.... old one i know but please help
This is a discussion about INACCESSABLE BOOT DEVICE.... old one i know but please help in the Windows Hardware category; right ok, installed new KT7a-raid, i already had 98se and 2k installed on my system. Now i can get to 98 no probs but 2k always crashes with INACESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE error on me. Now i know this is due to the bus master driver from the via 4 in 1's.

Now i know this is due to the bus master driver from the via 4 in 1's. But i cant even rerun thro setup to repair 2k. Does anyone know which files i can manually replace to at least let me into 2k so i can repair it from there?
thanks
THEN ... UPDATE :
right ok, gave up on trying to find the individual drivers and formatted the 2k partition. But still it happens. During the setup i press F6 and install the Highpoint Drivers. It then continues the install until the first time u see the 2k splash screen and then it crashes again. I have tried removing the scsi card, installing the NT drivers instead but nothing seem to have any effect.

Have you tried setting the T-Bird back to 1GHz and trying the set up?
This sound like your "got 2x20gb maxtors on the highpoint in RAID 0" problem rigth here, are you load the drivers before install win2000 win win2000 frist start up it ask for 3rd Party drivers I for got which Key I think it was F6.
OP
yeah i have done that F6 jobbie and installed the latest highpoint drivers it still causes the same error. Which is the file in the root directory that determines the multi-choice boot menu? and also i have tried running the cpu at 1G (same result)
