Hey everyone! I was wandering if you could help me with a problem.

I was wandering if it would be at all possible to boot from a hard drive that has the Windows 2000 OS, in a machine that used to have a hard drive with Windows 98.

Currently when i try to boot from it, I get the No OS found error. I was wandering if there is any way to get around this. Thanks!

Yeah, you can.. it sounds like you have your jumpers on your HD mixed up though.

Be advised, you MAY have boot issues due to drivers unless the W2K install was on a board with the same chipset.
