win2k comes with a standard driver for the rom,,(OakPark systems)
When you install the win2k it loads a driver for the rom at setup.(boot)
Try this,power down and unplug the rom then reboot then power down again, then plug
the rom back in to the system,, windows should say it found new hardware and will
install it on your system...
Note on the 2nd reboot check the Device Mrg. it should Not list the rom as a device...
To check the rom reboot with the win2k cd in the rom,if the rom is working right
the cd will load up and you will see the setup menu for win2k, if not replace the
rom, they are cheap now days..
