u will have to install SATA controller drivers

if u had dun a clean install of the OS den it would have asked you for the drivers. however since you have made an image of the boot drive from a PATA HDD, it is not present

install the controller drivers

[ramsubraj]

can u please elaborate on this .....

i have INtel 945gcnl board....

i could not find sata controller driver for win 2000

even if i find, how to install them

[slugger]

d SATA controler drivers are provided with the HDD

wen doin a clean install of the OS on SATA u will b asked 4 d SATA drivers, just pop in the controller CD/floppy wen asked

AFAIK u will have 2 do a clean install

[ramsubraj]

clean install is out of the issue....

i have a software that needs to work on the old hdd....
