hi all,

i was wondering if anyone could offer me some advice.

when installing win2k, i cannot change the size of the partition, i can
only select the full size, then the install will go perfectly until it
tries to load for the first time. just before the desktop appears, i get
either a INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error or it just reboots.

any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

During the setup, you should have the option to view and then
delete/create partitions. Try that.

What sizes are we talking about?? What type of computer?
