Any news? Has anybody booted Win2k on the z77 platform with integrated hd4000 video?

You probably need to test it yourself. There aren't many people using Win2k on such a new hardware so waiting for someone to answer on this particular question may be a waste of time Even if someone does use the system on a new hardware it may still be very different from yours so it's impossible to confirm whether it may work or not. I myself have got a not too old motherboard but it's for AMD (FM1) so I can't say anything about the Intel chipsets and their compatibility.

I did try, thats why I started this thread. We need Intel AHCI driver. Video for the HD 4000 would be nice too.

AMD is much better, it's a straightforward install on the latest hardware, I expect to have Win2k on 8-core Vishera and Steamroller without any problem on the latest Sabertooth.

I've just re-read the topic from the beginning and I think that if the setup hangs in IDE mode then it's not the SATA driver to prevent it from installation. The easiest way to check it would be move the system disk to another computer, install Win2k there (in IDE mode) and then move it back. If the system boots up and works and it will mean that it's a just a problem in Win2k installer.

Right, good idea, that has happened to me before, Win2k rebooted 3-dozen times to reconfigure but worked.

Hello,

I set up Windows 2000 Professional on an Intel Z77 motherboard (the Biostar TZ77MXE) and an Intel i7-2700K Sandy Bridge processor. The Biostar Z77 board has Windows 2000 drivers, but only for audio and LAN. I’ve been unable to make the Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics work yet, so for now I’m using a video card. The Intel Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility) dated 11/06/2012 from the Intel Download Center works with Windows 2000. Once installed, Device Manager correctly shows “Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family” under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, and from there I was able to de-list the remaining unknown devices, so that Device Manager has no problem devices now, and the system is working well.

How did you get the Intel MEI driver to work? Which GPU are you using?

The Management Engine provided by Biostar did not work for Windows 2000, so I downloaded one of those driver-search services (can’t remember which), entered my board model, and let it scan my system; it provided a list of drivers to try. The first one on the list worked (and I think the only one), an ASUS MEI, however that figures. This cleared the last problem in device manager (PCI Communications Controller).

I’m using an X600 XT graphics card, for which a Windows 2000 driver is available.

I modified the .inf of the MEI driver so it runs on Win2K. I copied the XP hardware IDs to Win2k section.
