jaclaz Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 (edited) 250 gb HDD sataDo you have an appropriate SATA driver integrated?Or can you set it in BIOS the internal disk in "IDE emulation mode" (or similar setting)?(though normally the symptoms would be that no disk is found )Which SP is that Wndows 2000?Have you enabled 48 bit LBA?Let's wait if some other member has an idea of what the issues could be (maybe too faster processo/too much RAM)? jaclaz Edited April 26, 2013 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks for the reply XD Yes I have tried to set the internal disk in "IDE emulation mode" but it didn't work Then it is possible that is the HD size, see below.It's the SP4 ^^Good.

jaclaz Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Yep, but that is simply a black screen with a cursor (possibly flashing) in the top left corner.What happens first?Try describing the steps you go through before that.Use this (it is XP related, but the 2K setup is very similar) as a reference:http://www.labtestproject.com/screenshot/windows_xp/jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJARRRPCGP Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 (edited) Yep, but that is simply a black screen with a cursor (possibly flashing) in the top left corner.If that was on reboot, it usually means a corrupted MBR on your HDD.Probably a bad optical drive or corrupted MBR.

AnX Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) If it has an InsydeH20 BIOS, that's your problem. Don't expect Windows 2000 on netbooks or laptops with that horrid BIOS, unless in a VM. Edited May 20, 2013 by AnX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
