[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 1018854, member: 325666"] No way Hose... Fell at the first Hurdle .. Installation not possible cos on reboot it fails .. I assume on account the wrong hard drive size is reported .. So although it allows me to create the 99gb partition ...and format it .. on reboot it doesn't see its own creation.. I have my answer ... ..and I doubt anyone fixed this issue ...afterall ..XP came out soon after ...and it was fixed on that.. Grrr .. [ATTACH=full]108122[/ATTACH] So the fudges I was trying ealier .. Same problem from a different perspective .. I built Win2000 on an 80gb drive .. Imaged it ..and put that image on a drive bigger than allowed .. It boots ..and runs ..but as soon as a second OS is put on a partition outside that 137gb limit ... Even though it is hidden and not visible to Win2000 ...the full realisation that this drive has more sectors than allowed becomes evident ..and on reboot of Win2k ...instant blue screen of death.. ferkin idiots..!!!
