2000pro See 30GB HDD As 7GB

Feb 8, 2009

I ran into an issue reformatting my 30gb drive after using GetDataBack to recover data from the drive. Partition Magic sees it as 8gb accessible, Disk Management sees it as 7.8gb inaccessible. The BIOS sees it as 30gb and the PM8 DOS boot floppy sees it as 30gb. (8gb and 21gb) I formatted the 21gb as the 8gb was already formatted with the PM8 Windows. I booted back to windows but it still says 7.8gb in Disk Management but now says 8gb and 21gb in PM8 Windows. They are accessible in PM8 but not through windows. I have SP4 on board and all other updates. I know there is a solution for this but it�s escaping me.

2000Pro Leftovers - Pick An Option

Dec 26, 2004

I got this used pc with 2000 pro in it. I was just getting used to Windows 98SE and didn't like the 2kP, so I installed my 98SE too. Besides having to track down the graphics program and audio driver, all went smoothly. Since the, I've been under the impression that I was running 98SE OS...until I added a cd/rw that keeps insisting that I must be the administrator to burn anything for Nemo.
So today, I naively went into the start-up Bios thinking I was going to just do a C:
einstall of Windows 98SE and get rid of all that unwanted system. Ha Ha.
Ok...So, ideally I'd like to get this 2000 software out of here and make it completely 98SE...or maybe get in there and become the administrator. I do seem to have a 2000 Pro Installation CD and somewhere I have 3 (I think) HP recovery disks.
When I tried to do the C:Win98 re-install, needless to say, all this did was go on ahead and boot-up from the hard disk (I assume). I couldn't get the "pick an option" boot-up screen at all.

Perfectly Good Running 2000Pro Machine

Jun 19, 2008

I did a search and only found one thread and that didn't sound too promising.I am wanting to add XP Home to my perfectly good running 2000Pro machine. There seems to be a lot of apps that won't run on 2000. I want to put XP on a separate internal hard drive. Trying Windows tells me 2000 is not a supported Operating System to upgrade to XP. I knew XP was a downgrade but I want it on a separate drive. It won't let me that way. So, I tried to boot from the XP CD and it thinks about it for a while and then loads 2000 without getting into the XP install screen. Any ideas on how to get this done without screwing up my 2000? Or maybe there's a program that will trick applications into running on 2000?
