Guess what now? I purchased a 80G WDC that has 8M built in RAM for hard caching. This drive worked very well. But before I made this modification to my system, I hooked up the old 6G drive that I had and did some data transfers taking off of it good data. Well, apparently this old drive may have been one of my problems. I ended up with the partition damaged on my other newer 40G drive, the target of the copied files. Even an update style of Win2000 install requires me to reformat the drive since the partition is found to be damaged.

I have recently copied important work from the portable I rented to this drive through an Ethernet connection. So before I had a chance of making backups, this goes and happens. I will be looking at that Spinrite by Gibson to see if that soeftare not only can retrieve data that is problematic to access, but also retrieve data from corrupted partitions.

Now the good news. I reinstalled windows 2000. I enabled the APIC setting found in the pwoer menagement menu of the BIOS. Now the BIOS is taking adventage of the extended PIC (Programmable Interupt Controller) that comes with this ASUS board. So now I am no longer limited to 15 interrupts. Interrupt conflicts have gone away. Booting problem has also gone away.

PS: Backup Now! by NTI appears to work well. But I have not tried recovering from the backup yet. Also its drivers are incompatible with Nero.
