I was having a problem with my main drive (smart error) and replaced it with
a Quantum drive. I ghosted the existing hard drive...

(which was still functioning, just kept giving me the smart error so I
thought I better change it out)...

to the new drive and changed the new drive to master and removed the old
one. Upon reboot everything looked great right up to the unit going into W2K
and then I got a blue screen with...

STOP: c0000218 Unknown Hard Error
If this is the first time...yadda yadda

After that it just keeps going into the chkdsk mode on restart and crashes
after checking about 75% of the files.
Repair with the W2K CD wont work with or without emergency repair disk, just
says its corrupt and stops. I could overwrite the drive with a new install
but I would loose all the profiles. Anyone seen anything like this before?
MS KB doesn't have any info on that error.

please reply to group, TIA
 
Ran the powermax ultility and no errors on the driver where found. A fresh
install of 2000 also failed so on one hand it appears to be the drive and on
the other not. maybe a low level format will solve this?
