Hi, this is my first post to the board.
Help!
I installing Windows2000 Pro and then for some reason my hdd crashed completeley and if it is connecting to the computer and is set to be recognised by the BIOS it stalls the pc on boot. Although if i dont set the bios to recognise it, win98se on my 2nd hdd will recongise it. I tried and thought successfully deleted the NTFS partition in win98se using fdisk and deleted the non-dos partition.
I don't know what to do at all. What is wrong with my hard drive?

Lexluthor, some of us do this thing, you may have heard of it, its called "dual-booting". Some people like to run games on 98 instead of 2000 for personal preference. In order to have significantly less problems between two different filesystems, the entire harddrive(s) are formatted as FAT32, because 9x cant read NTFS.
Quit being a f*cking @$$hole!
Id give you the finger, but I dont know how to give it in this forum.

read the whole text exactly as written, very slowly, many times before your feeble mind starts wandering.

not a problem stud
i'm too old to flame for no reason.

 
now that is taken care of i pose this question. i play a limited amount of games (q2,q3, combat flight sim, need for speed3 and 5 ) they all work perfectly on w2k... much better than win98.
 
what popular games/apps dont work on w2k?
