0x0000007b HD inaccessible error

I have a WIN2K server that I need upgrade from a PII to a
PIIII.

If I clone the HD and reboot in a newer PC I get the error
noted in subject. I am convinced that the problem is
related to the HD Controller being different than the
original.

I just cannot find the fix anywhere. I have tried to
REPAIR but that doesn't solve the problem. I believe the
problem lies in the Registry where I tries it load the
Controller Driver.

The machine boots, then dies, so I know WIN2K is trying to
load. Cannot get into Safemode either. If I could edit the
registry entry so I can load WIN2k at least to SAFEMODE, I
can do anything else.

Anybody smart enough to give me fix?
