Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?

[Guest W. Watson]

That's the question in the Subject. It seems to be balking at the idea. I

have a 320G Western Digital. It seems to see something less than 320G, and

tells me it wants to establish a C: drive, NTFS, of about 320M, and a D:

drive of about 50M. I told it to continue, and it told me some format was

incompatible with W2K. I just stopped.

If your drive controller is not natively supported (which it wouldn't be)

then you'll want to boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom. Then *F6* very

early and very important (at setup is inspecting your system) in the setup

to prevent drive controller detection, and select S to specify additional

drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to insert the manufacturer supplied

Windows 2000 driver for your drive controller in drive "A"

 

Be sure to apply SP4 and these two below to your new install before

connecting to any network. Internet included. (sasser, msblast)

Thanks. I'll look into this. I'm using a new ASUS P5NSLI MB.

You'll also want to amend the registry with the Big:LBA hack immediately

after the install completes.

Re: Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?

 

Before continuing with the install, let me list the particulars of the

window I see on my monitor when I stopped.

 

76294 MB Dis 0k on bus 0 on atapi

C:NIFS(Drv1_main) 76003MB<6360MB Free

D:FAT32(Drv1_extra) 290MB<237MB Free

 

131070MB Disk 0 at at 0? on? bus 0 on atapi (I didn't copy the ? legibly)

Unpartitioned space 131069MB

 

From BIOS the HD is WDC WD32000AAJS-0

 

(I'll ask more about this registery mod when I've completed the install)

 

Is an XP install going to help install matters here?

Re: Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?

 

Windows 2000 setup cannot access past the 137 GB point on an IDE or

SATA disk drive that is connected to the motherboard chipset

interface.

 

If you want to install Windows 2000 on the 320 GB drive, you can

temporarily connect it to a PCI controller that has a Windows driver

that supports 48-bit LBA access, and load the driver during setup.

After configuring the installed Windows 2000 for 48-bit LBA access

(SP3 or 4, plus EnableBigLba = 1 in the registry), you can reconnect

it to the motherboard interface.

Partitioning about 20 gigs to use as the system drive before installing

makes all these problems go away.

That's true until the disk is fully partitioned. Once the disk is

fully partitioned, you won't be able to run Windows 2000 setup

sucessfully again.

I had a big delay in getting started. I now have the time to really start.

Re: Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?

 

Well, I'm off like a herd of turtles. Your description is closest to what

ASUS recommends. I called 10 minutes before they closed, so got a hurry up

briefing on how to do this.

1. Fire up the PC

2. Place their driver CD in the drive

3. Wait for the initial ASUS screen to appear, and finally a

prompt to boot from the CD. Press a key to start the boot.

(Of course, you need to set BIOS to know to start the boot

from a CD before trying a HD or other device.

4. Wait for a prompt to choose 32-bit, 64-bit or DOS prompt

5. I selected 32-bit. Wait for a prompt for a floppy

6. Place a 3.5" (fresh) floppy disk in drive-A. Wait for 8

files to be copied to the CD

I've done all the above. I have not verified the following, but

from what I could get in the short conversation, this is it.

1. Insert the W2K CD

2. Press the boot button

3. Hit F6 soon

4. A prompt for the floppy appears

5. Put it in if you took it out

6. Continue letting the system get what it needs

7. Press F8 to continue the install

 

That's about it. I'll call them in the morning to see if this plays well

with them.

 

The woman who helped me seemed to know her stuff. I had contacted them 3

times earlier on some problems related to their driver CD and the floppy.

She was the best of the lot. She got into some issues about qualified

vendors, and memory. Her points about memory caused some discussion.

Interesting, but I'll have to revisit them tomorrow. We got off briefly on

red/black SARA ports and what RAID really meant. Even though I have a single

WD 320G drive, she recommended going with RAID. A second drive can be added

later, if needed or useful. We got a lot in in 10 minutes. Maybe it was 15

minutes!

 

Almost all the four people I talked to claimed the manual had instructions

on how to install w2k. Not so. I looked at them, and they are nowhere as

detailed as the above. In fact, the s/w window panels they show don't seem

to exist. I'll revisit that another day.

Re: Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?

 

Well, I got the drivers on the floppy for a 32-bit system. As I looked at

the dialog to do this, it talked to SCSI. I'm surprised that SCSI even

appeared. SATA is SCSI? Anyway, I proceeded to install w2k, and got the

setup to read the floppy. After it made it through setup, I got to a window

about partitionining C: and D:. I had reported about this very same window

in another part of the thread. Again it showed that it was going to

partition C to 76G NTFS and D to 1/4 FAT.

 

On that I called ASUS. The tech guy said to proceed and then install SP4. I

asked if this was going to allow me to access all 320G of the WD HD. He

wasn't sure. He then went onto mention that even with XP the same thing

could happen, but using XP (usually??) solved the problem. I find that

rather a startling statement. I think he did say usually. I then got off on

how their manual barely talks to any of this. He said one of the supplied

CDs talks about RAID installations. Well, it's certainly not on the EVEA CD

supplied. Ah, here it is buried in the driver CD, 110 pages. Let's skip to

the next paragraph.

 

My question now is if I get (from another PC hooked to the internet) the

security downloads and the roll up mentioned below, am I going to see all 320G.

What exactly am I supposed to download in the rollup? Is it all the W2K

downloads listed on

<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=en>. 1/4th way

down under Recommended Downloads. #40, #82,... There are 686 listed. Don't

these, as necessary, automatically get applied by W2K on occasion when I'm

attached to the internet?

Re: Can W2K Be Installed on SATA Drives?

 

What exactly am I supposed to download in the rollup? Is it all the W2K

downloads listed on

<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=en>. 1/4th way

down under Recommended Downloads. #40, #82,... There are 686 listed. Don't

these, as necessary, automatically get applied by W2K on occasion when I'm

attached to the internet?
