| Hey Stevet,
The only thing that I can think of off the top of my head, is whether or not you formated your hardrive before installation. Did you? Also, I'll keep looking to see if I can find the answer.

| yep the disk was formatted before installation | |
|
| Did you check the Hardware Compatability List to see if all of your hardware was on it? Also, you probably already know this, but if you are installing on a bare hardrive, you have to use WINNT.EXE, because WINNT32.EXE is for upgrades.
I'll keep checking.

| Hey Stevet,
The only other thing I can think of is a bad install. Either use you ERD to repair your install or re-install. Don't forget that if you opt to reinstall you should fdisk and format to make sure the bad files are completely gone before you start reinstalling.

| Try unplugging and replugging your floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, and Hard drive cables. Also, check your BIOS settings. The only time that I have seen inaccessible boot device was when the floppy drive cable was not plugged in all the way. Let me know if that works.
Good luck:-) |
