Re: Windows 2000 Pro and SATA

Provided you have a sp slipstreamed win2k cd it will quite happily install
to a large hd, and if using other than intel, you simply install sata/raid
drivers from floppy using the F6 option, early in the process

Will Windows 2000 pro install onto a sata drive? I have been trying to
install Win 2000 onto a new dell computer with only a sata controller
and Windows won't even format the partition.

It will, if you set the mode of the SATA interface to IDE, instead of
AHCI. You will also be restricted by the 28-bit LBA limitation of
Windows 2000 setup.

Thanks, Andy.
