Installing win2k after XP
Dell dimension desktop 520
P4 3GHZ;3GB RAM
HDrives: 2 WDC 250GB each
I am running XP media center and I would like to install Win2k on my second harddrive. I try to boot from the win2k CD and it starts its setup but when installation should start I get a blue screen with "Inaccessible boot device" I tried to unplug the first drive so only the second drive is present but it won't go.
When I go in the Bios and change "raid on" to "autorun" I get a few steps further until partitioning starts. I show the partition I want and I get a message "will have to format in FAT32 because the partition is larger than 2024kb" I do ok and than "Can't format the partition because it's damaged" and that's the end of it.
I think it has something to do with raid making the drive "inaccessible" Is there something I can do about this?
I installed and uninstalled 3 linux OS on that drive just to test it without any problem,all working fine.
Installing another windows on another drive should not be a problem,no?
