I tried to upgrade my Win 98 to Win 2000 Prof. I worked
fine for two days then I had problems so I tried to
reformat my hard drive and I get the error message 1780.
IDE Primary Channel Master drive error and 0162. Equipment
configuration Error. Fdisk is not working, it ge the
message error reading fixed disk.How can I get my system
up and running with win 98 second again?
 
Are these system bios error messages? If so then it appears some hardware
has failed.
