Win2K and SATA drive

[Guest]

Hello,
I cloned my win 2K machine onto a new system that uses SATA drives. I of
course got the BOOT_INACCESSIBLE message when I tried booting up. When I
tried to do a repair procedure on Windows by booting with either the CD or
floppies I get a message saying that there is no hard drive. I tried using
the F6 option to load different drivers and get a screen saying that some
files couldn't be found.
The MB is a PCChips M957G. There doesn't appear to be a separate driver for
the SATA on the MB CD or website.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

The drivers are Via, they are contained on your cd
If neccessary download and refer to manual, on PC Chips web site, for your
mobo. It details instructions for installing/making a floppy.
Until you install drivers, via F6, you cannot get anywhere.
