Hi, I was just trying to install Windows 2000 Pro on one of my computers. I was able to delete the old partitions (two hard drives), create new ones and selected a drive to install 2000 Pro on. I got three quarters of the way through the format process when I got an error message saying there was no hard drive to format. How could it go so far into a format of a drive that does not exist? Anyway, now I cannot get the install to continue because Windows cannot see my two hard drives. I have tried going into the BIOS and auto detecting the drives with no luck. The only thing it shows there as a hard drive is my dvd drive. I have tried switching to booting from a floppy disk and it will not do this at all. When I try this option it tells me to remove disk(s) and hit any key to restart. I would appreciate any help ya'll could provide on this issue.
