Hi to all,
Recently I have decided to salvage my old computer and networked both my computers together. The problem is that I am unable to install an OS onto my HDD in my old computer. I tried with Win98, the result was that some files was unable to be copied from the CD to the HDD. The same problem goes with Win2K. Thinking it might be the CD's fault, I tried several copies on it and yield the same results.
Suspecting it might be hardware problems, I changed a CD-ROM, HDD and cable to check. The results were the same. I have tried using a IDE controller card as well but the problem remains.
I have even tried using my new computer to install Win2K and it could install successfully but when I bring the HDD over to the old computer, it gives me a BSOD with the error message "INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE".
I have disabled ACPI as my old computer was unable to support it.
Could somebody help me with this problem ?
Thank you.
