Hi Don, Thanks for the quick response

You are quite correct - the disc is in NTFS - I took it out and connected it to a USB/IDE converter and confirmed this

From further research it seems that my problem is changing a motherboard with Win 2000 in that it needs the correct IDE drivers/chipset for the new board and the "old" installation does not contain these

It seems the "best" solution is to reinstall 2000 but I'm trying to find a way to avoid this if possible by using a start-up disk and manually loading the correct drivers... Thanks again
