Just built system with kv8-max3 mobo, amd64 3200+ cpu, 2gb, 400mhz, pc 3200
black diamond ram, 2 80gb maxtor hd.connected to raid headers 1 & 2, for
raid array '0'. System boots up and goes thru post just fine, until I try to
install win2k pro OS from boot floppies. Windows 2000 blue setup screen
appears, asks if need to load third party drivers for scsi or raid, then
says loading files [machine ID data], then loading files [windows 2000
executive], then stops with the message on screen that says;

file\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded.
the error code is 7
setup cannot continue

What is error code 7 and what did I miss

need some help

Do not attempt an install w/ *ANY* OC'ing, in fact, the BIOS should be set
to BIOS Defaults, and if that doesn't work, even Setup Defaults. Time and
time again, I see people optimize or OC their system *first*, then attempt
to install the OS. Don't do it, it leads to a lot of OS installation
failures.
