I am currently running win 98 on a 2.5 gig drive. i want
to upgrade to win 2000 and i also bought a 40 gig hard
drive and made it the slave. i am starting up win98, then
inserting the win 2000 disk in cdrom drive to install win
2000 on it (clean install). this works fine, but when i
take out the win98 drive, and reboot the computer with the
40 gig drive with win 2000 now set as the master drive, it
won't boot. what did i miss?
 
You'll want to remove the old drive connect the new drive *then* install
Windows 2000 The boot sector always resides on the system partition (first
primary active partition) which your removing after the install, hence the
reason the operating system can't start.
