hey all, heres my problem...
after installing my new mainboard (DFI Ultra-D) i received the error message i was anticipating after attempting to boot win 2k pro... "inaccesible boot device". i prepared the OS for a new mainboard by following the instructions on a web page i found that listed the necessary registry tweaks to make this process less painful.
apparently it did nothing and i received the error message above in a nice BSOD. i used my win2k disc to try a fresh install, but got the following stop message, and here is where i need somebody's help...
STOP : 0X0000004E ( 0X0000008F, 0X00008AA9, 0X00008AE9, 0X00000000 ) PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
ive read around a bit and apparently this basically means fried ram (im using some old Corsair DDR 333 for the moment) or the memory management page file has become corrupted. now what i couldnt find out is how to fix the problem, all the links i could find being very unhelpful in this respect.
im eager to get my new rig up and running, and would appreciate any speculations/opinions sent my way.
