    Greetings,
    This problem has been plaguing me for quite some time. I went through the dual boot instalation and now have it working good. Th e problem I have so far is that my Graphics card (Nividia Geforce 2 MX 100/200) is not starting in 2000 pro. I installed the drivers from the instilation disk that were for 2000 into the same partition as the 2000 install and even downloaded the newest drivers from the website.

    Here is how I have the system configured:
    I have 2 HDs
    an 80 and a 30 gig respectfully
    on the 80 I have that partitioned into 2 parts one being 20G (C:\) then the other being 60G (D:\) the 30 I have split into 3 parts
    10G for E:\
    5G for F:\
    15G for win 2000 which I cant see in 98.

    Now the weird thing I seen is that when I boot to 2000 I see the win 2000 as D:\ could this be a reason for my problems? the best resolution I get in 2000 is 800X600 with 16 colors because the video card is not starting even though I install it and it does not error out it just tell me that the instalation was succesful and I must restart my system. Should I just re install everything and start from scratch or is there anything I can do. If there is any further info needed to help diagnose this problem let me know....


    Thanks

    Tom

    Memorex - I'm going to have to join the others who have looked at this problem and don't have a clue. I did find from some searching that the nVidia folks do not offer tech support. :eek:

    This Site is a support forum but dedicated to nVidia so you might check there for some information.
