New mobo - issues...
i installed a new mobo this morning - and now once i hit the windows 2000 pro splash screen - i end up blue screening....
what can i do to avoid backing up and reinstalling?? can i get to a command prompt?? I tried a win98/me boot disk but thats not doin anything - and for some reason, i cant seem to boot directly to cd to try a repair... HELP! Last edited by ameilius; 03-23-2006 at 01:11 PM. |

Do a repair install from the Windows 2000 disk.

Is the CD set to be the first boot device in the BIOS? Is this a valid Windows 2000 install CD?

Make sure the CD is clean. Try another bootable CD to see if the drive works.
One way or another, you are going to have to find a way to boot from that CD. |
