Hey, can anyone make a full detailed video about installing UniATA?

Whenever I try to install UniATA it simply gives me a bluescreen or it doesn't install at all.

Or else can we install UniATA using VirtualBox (or) VMware?

This is the only option for me, However, I tried installing Windows 2000 on my old business PC which is HP SFF-8300 it works with Windows 2000 when I emulate Sata as IDE.

But when I install UniATA, it starts to give me a bluescreen. I need to install UniATA because I want to use Windows 2000 on my Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WIFI Motherboard.

Bluescreen: Inaccessible Boot Device

Please Help Me.
 
You don't need a video, you installed it, it is just not compatible with your chipset is my guess,HP says the 8300 has the intel q77 chipset and that doesn't show up in the uniata compatibility list, they do have q67 and that only has partial compatibility.

Also even if it would work that would not mean that you would be able to run a fully installed windows with all its programs on a radically different PC without any issues, you would still have to find drivers for all the hardware of the b450 which is pretty impossible.

A good cloning tool will include a "dissimilar" option, that lets you take a clone of the installed OS but strips out all drivers so there is no incompatibility when cloning to a new system. Still doesn't fix the issue of no drivers being available for w2k on new systems.

Just an example, because acronis is one of the most popular.
