w2k upgrade from nt
SET-UP:
I AM RUNNING NT4 (SP4) 256MB RAM AMD350MHZ PROCESSOR.
I HAVE 3 HARD DRIVES.
FIRST HARD DRIVE (PRIMARY MASTER)IS PARTITIONED INTO 3. (2047 2000 2149) ALL FAT.
SECOND HARD DRIVE(PRIMARY SLAVE) IS PARTITIONED INTO 3. (2047 5969 1639) THE FIRST PARTITION ON THIS HARD DRIVE(2047) IS FAT, THE OTHER TWO ARE NTFS.
THIRD HARD DRIVE(SECONDARY MASTER) IS PARTITIONED INTO 2. (14002 13194) BOTH NTFS
I HAVE A CD ROM (SECONDARY SLAVE)
I HAVE A SCSCI CARD INSTALLED WHICH CONTROLS A RICOH CD-R/RW
PROBLEM:
I AM TRYING TO UPGRADE TO WIN2000 (HAVE BOUGHT THE NT UPGRADE)
WINDOWS STARTS THE UPGRADE TO WHERE IT SAYS ITS REBOOTING THE SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM REBOOTS AND SAYS ITS 'CHECKING HARDWARE CONFIGURATION' AND AFTER A WHILE I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE:-
***STOP:0X0000007B(0XF4063
INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE
THEN GOES ON TO TELL ME TO:
CHECK FOR VIRUS(DONE THAT.NO VIRUS)
DISCONNECT ANY NEW HARDWARE DEVICES (DISCONNECTED PRIMARY SLAVE AND SECONDARY MASTER. MADE NO DIFFERENCE)
I have had a look at the microsoft help page mentioned. I cannot see a UltraDMA ATA/66 in my bios
As to the 'Highpoint UltraDMA ATA/66' I have never seen this mentioned at any point while installing any of the three H.D's in the past.
If the 'highpoint ultra' is a card then i certainly don't have it.
looked in the bios and found UDMA's listed for primary master/primary slave, secondary master/secondary slave. i'm given the choice of auto or disabled. they were set to auto so i changed them to disabled. this mad no difference.
I have now tried it with the scsci card removed and still no joy.
THANKYOU,

nodisk, I see you're new around here, so welcome. I should tell you it is customary to post any addition to a question as a COMMENT, not an answer--answering the question locks it and prevents other experts having their say. Given that your "answer" here is nothing of the kind, I suggest you withdraw it.

It could be a clash between your SCSI card and the on-board IDE--have you tried running the setup with the SCSI card temporarily removed? If that works you could finish the installation then troubleshoot the SCSI.

Thanx to all for suggestions

Seriously, have you got an Ultra DMA/66 disk controller--particularly one from HighPoint? There's an MSDN article indicating these can cause the problem you're encountering, because Win2K doesn't have drivers for them. If you have such a controller, try disabling uDMA/66 and see what happens.
