Default Win2k/NTFS Hard Drive Security
I have replaced both the motherboard and CPU in this computer that has windows 2000 installed. When I try to boot, I get a stop error "inacessible boot device" shortly after the windows 2000 logo screeen appears. This happens for safe mode booting as well. I know that the hard drive works, since the last use of it was when I had it in another PC to grab some files off of it. I have tried an emergency repair installation of win2k from the install CD to no avail. I have run chkdsk /p from the emergency repair console, and it reported no errors. Therefore, I am certain that the drive is fine. So, what else would be causing this problem? I suspect winnt/ntfs drive security interference... how can I bypass this?
