thank u for the great help.

I downloaded the bios file . I upgraded my bios , but when I start my computer and install windows 2000 on the 80 GB HD , I restart the computer and I receive this message :

Error Loading OS .

I don't understand why .

I have the windows 2000 installed but it doesn't get recognized .

Do u think that I need to set up the bios manually to recognize my 80GB HD ???

Can u help me please ??

thank u
