I am trying to upgrade an NT4 workstation to 2000. The
main hard drive is SCSI, and one of its 'quirks' is that
it doesn't show up in the BIOS and boot sequence. When I
try to upgrade to 2K, I get a stop error telling me to
make sure that the hard drive is working properly. I have
loaded the SCSI controller's drivers at the beginning of
the Win2K setup, and the same happens. I don't believe
that the HDD came with any drivers of it's own, and there
were no problems when we installed NT. Any suggestions?

If you had installed the scsi card driver, it should show
up during bootup before you boot to the win2k cd. If your
scsi card is born after win2k, you need to F6 early and
have the driver disk in A:

Hope this info is useful
