So I got a new hard drive and installed win2k and win xp onto two different partitions of the drive. The problem is that Win 2k can't connect to the internet and only sees the ethernet card as an "ethernet controller" when I open up hardware manager, it's an Intel Pro/100 VM. Win xp had no problem recognizing it and I can't even easily find a driver that will help. Anybody got any ideas?
Also, Win2k can't recognise my video card or audio one either. My video card is an Nvidia GForce GTS. I know, not that great of a system. I just didn't know if these non-recognitions were related.

Have you installed the drivers on the 2000 side?
