I have a new Intel D945GCLF2 Mini-ITX MB with only one IDE port. My OS is on CD, so when the CD (Master) is connected on the same IDE cable/channel with the HDD(Super Talent SSD, Slave) neither operate. The CD doesn't even run with the HDD plugged in. Unplugging the HDD restores CD operation. The HDD operates in the port alone, with the drive listed in the BIOS.
I have tried for days to successfully transfer my Win 2K SP4 files to a USB for installation, but the best I get is NTDLR Missing. This would solve everything as I have the MB also booting & running a PE OS from USB.
Apps like 'WinSetupFromUSB' have proven unreliable, with errors.
Any suggestions appreciated.
