The thing is, I can't get to the RecoveryConsole... When I'm on the screen where you choose (in my case) "C://Gaming" or "D://Filmmaking," if you choose "C" it hangs, just like it does when it 'searches for previous installations,' and when it tries to regular boot into the OS.

Trend found 2 viruses, deleted them. I ran the scan again to be sure, system was clean. Win2K Gaming still won't boot to desktop; still hangs just before. Still can't repair or even reinstall, as the OS CD's won't recognize previous installations. I can't load another profile, as I...

Did you run housecall?" Not yet, will hopefully do so tomorrow... (must transport system to high speed connection) You're thinking it's a virus?

Okay, I tried the sfc/scannow option (changed the prompt to "c:" in the command window, since it's the c: OS that is screwed up), but no change; it still hangs at startup.

Then put your system disc in and close any windows it loads and run sfc/scannow. " Thanks...not quite sure how to do this, though! Tried it through Start>Run, but no go. Found a "sfc.exe" in the "Gaming">winnt folder, but it didn't do anything either... So where/how do I run sfc/scannow...

This is so weird! I've never even heard of such a thing... Left my computer try to boot up over the New Year, and it was hanging for 12 hours on the "windows is starting" screen. And I can't 'Repair' or even 'Reinstall' windows using the install disks; it also won't "detect previous...

Hello! I have a dual-boot system, "Win 2K Gaming," (for games) and "Win 2K Video," (for video editing). The computer is NOT hooked up to the internet, though I occasionally do hook it up... always using the "Win 2K Gaming" partition, which thus has alot of free anti-virus, anti-spamware...

Well, I just recieved an identical WD 2500JD SATA drive and it works fine! No problems whatsoever-- this means the 'old' (ie, BRAND NEW) Western Digital drive from Newegg WAS FAULTY!!! Can you imagine that crap?!? A brand new drive that didn't even work!!! Think of all the hassle I could've...

Thanks to all of you for trying to help me resolve this!!! (btw, the SATA drive I'm trying to recognize and use would be a dedicated "video storage drive," and not a boot or OS drive) As of now, all I can think is this: 1. my motherboard is bad 2. the SATA Western Digital is bad 3...

The only utility WD seems to offer is just a spruced-up version of disk management... I tried it, but it won't see the SATA either. I'm guessing this is just a situation where we see the limits of current computer technology... In reality, alot of this stuff does NOT work perfectly together...

Actually, I've tried installing both the SATA RAID drivers, and the SATA "base" drivers... On both occasions, neither the BIOS nor the OS (including disk managemnet via MMC) would recognize any drive... This seems impossible... Either I'm making a blatent mistake, or there is something wrong...

I removed the normal system dual-boot HD, took an old, spare IDE hard drive and reintalled Win2K on the spare drive, doing the "F6 install 3rd party drivers for SCSI/SATA", making sure to have the "base" SATA drivers (instead of RAID SATA drivers) on the floppy... The spare drive (with brand...

(Just returned from several weeks of traveling); now then, the SATA drive is still not recognized by windows. Have tried installing/reinstalling both the SATA and the "base" drivers, but neither the BIOS nor the OS will see it. I thought I'd posted somewhere, that I'd already tried this...

I don't blame you for being confused --"I am, and this is my stinking thread, LOL!" I'm going to START FRESH for my own sake, as well as yours... Besides, I no longer have to retrieve the data from the SATA... please look at my thread on tek-tips about the Win 2K install... I just...

I reinstalled Win 2K over an old installation...without reformatting... (didn't want to lose files, installed programs, etc.) (I swapped hard drives, into new system; the "fast repair" wouldn't work; was still getting BSOD) ((Concerning new install: Installed service pack 4, updated...

Actually, when I did the "temp install" of Win2K onto the spare HD, (and as I said, it was reading a "130GB" drive that had to be the SATA), then I pulled the data information from the then-slaved dual-boot OS drive, I never formally formatted and partitioned the 160GB drive!" Yet it seemed to...

No, it's not detected in BIOS, and of course, not the OS (dual-boot Win 2K, one for gaming, one for video editing) Today I ran an update/flash BIOS off the internet, as well as service pack 4... And spent at least an hour messing with the BIOS settings... As well as swapping the cable...

Hey folks! Well I've upgraded my system (gigabyte board, AMD64 3000, 1GB DDR, Ati Radeon 3600XT). Also got a 250GB SATA to use as a storage drive for my video data... I use a regular IDE for my OS (Win2K). (NOTE: from other thread, I DID in fact have to reinstall the OS, though I didn't...

Something I just noticed; the video card has a PCI-express interface, but the motherboard is AGP 8X/4X... The only reason I chose that card is because it was recommended on 'Toms Hardware...' Not sure I really need such a card, though...

Whoa, that's wierd! Here's another forum (video editing/DVX camcorder) that I started a similar thread, and posted the same links; they work from this thread: http://www.dvxuser.com/V3/showthread.php?t=24461&page=1&pp=10 (now I have to wonder if THIS link will work, lol!)
