Help !
I tried to install w2k to several ibm hard disk(>30G) with Asus P4b266 moth board.
But after the 1st copy file process,it can not boot up. Just display"Press any key to reboot". I can install to a Fujitsu 6G hard disk. Is it a problem with the moth board?

I havent looked at that MB specs, but the 30GB drive is possibly ATA100 and you would need to add drivers to W2K to support ATA100. During setup W2K prompts for F6 if using SCSI or other controllers. You would need to add the drivers by hitting F6 and following the onscreen prompts.

I think your problem is that the c: has not been made active. Go back to fdisk and set it as "active". That should do it. Goos luck.
