Install Windows 2000 on a SCSI hard drive

Many people are not unfamiliar with the installation of Windows 2000, and it is true that there is no difficulty in performing Windows 2000 Setup.exe, upgrades, or direct installations from Windows 98, for the vast majority of users who use IDE hard disks. However, if your computer is a graphics workstation using a SCSI hard drive, it might be a different story.

My Computer is a typical example, SCSI hard disk is not only a material disk, but also a boot disk, SCSI card for the building state Dc395uw, recently acquired a dvraptor-rt non-linear edit card, had to update Windows 98 system to Windows (Dvraptor Compatibility with Windows 98 is not very good). Under Windows 98, perform Windows 2000 Setup.exe, select Upgrade installation, install program to perform a system check, prompt to provide the driver of the card under Windows 2000, after each provided, the system restarts itself, continue the installation process. Choose Windows 2000 from the Windows 98/windows 2000 startup option, and the hard drive reads a disk, and the error prompts you to do so: if you first encounter this situation, restart it, or your hard drive may be infected with a virus or other error. Please reboot and perform a disk check.

Hard drive is good, choose Windows 98 at startup, machine work is good, and certainly other mistakes. Restart your computer and pay close attention to the related display. An installation is checking your computer configuration (Setup is inspecting YOUR COMPUTER S hardware CONFIGURATION ...). After the hint, followed by a blue screen, the screen most of the feet appear about 2 seconds of the hint: "Press F6 into the third party SCSI or RAID driver", connected to their own SCSI hard drive, suddenly, press F6, appear prompt: "Direct installation Please press ENTER If you have a SCSI or RAID storage device or CD-ROM, press S, press S, and the system prompts the SCSI or RAID driver, insert the DC395UW drive floppy disk, enter, select for Windows 2000 driver, enter, and the wind is smooth.

Analysis of the cause of the problem, mainly because the additional SCSI card in DOS is not able to drive, although Windows 98 is driven, but the installation of Windows 2000, startup has been selected as Windows 2000, so that the installer can not find the hard disk, nature will not be installed. Also note that Windows 2000 is installed in Windows 98, but file replication is still under the DOS, it must be hung under the DOS on the light drive, otherwise the installation is also unable to complete.
