I have a system with an ASUS P4P800S motherboard and a single Western Digital 120GB SATA hard drive in a removable drive bay. I am trying to install Windows 2000 Pro on this drive. The installation proceeds normally until it tries to startup Windows. The system hangs there. I have another Western Digital 120 GB hard drive that I was able to successfully install Windows XP on without needing any additional drivers or such. Could someone please shed some light on how I should proceed? I appreciate any/all advice.
