Windows 2000

Post by Zacker »

I tried booting the Windows 2000 from the ISO. It straight went into the bsod after a long load.
Prehaps it was me not partitioning my new drives.(I thought boot might do that for me, guess not)
I'm now trying a different method: Running the Upgrade procedure from Win98. Wish me luck

SETUP:
Award 430VX
Pentium 100
128MB Ram
2x 4GB Images(16, 63, 8322)
Voodoo(maxed out)
SB AWE32
Virge DX(maxed out)

HOST SYSTEM:
i3-2100
6GB Ram
1TB HDD
R7 240

Could you post a screenshot of the bsod please?

Windows 2000 setup should partition the drives for you, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I can't do the BSOD anymore, as I've successfully installed Win2K from upgrading from Win98. I'll redo the installation again to make the BSOD appear again sometime tomorrow.

BTW Tom have you considered making USB support in the near future for Pentium machines? It can eliminate many problems for many people, it can even eliminate the network problem in some cases.

I've considered it, but could never think of a useful enough usecase to justify the effort.

Remember when I said I would attempt to do the BSOD again on Sunday? GUESS WHAT? HDD CRASH!!!!

I'm downloading Win2K ISO again now in order to redo the BSOD, but with my Science, BM, and English test tomorrow, I might not be awake to redo the BSOD. In that case, tomorrow would do.
