Here's something funny...
I pluged the 1gb wdc hdd to my pc (not the server where the probs. are) and installed win nt 4.0 server without a problem. Then I plugged it back to the server and it ran nice there execpt the nic wouldn't allow it-self to be intstalled and when I tried to get the drivers re-installed it hung and stuff. So I installed win 2000 server just ot find out I can't install sp3 since it req. a coupple of 400mb space wich I didn't have after the installation. But the motherboard has 4 pci slots and 3 isa. I have plugged the gfx card to the last pci and the nic next to the gfx card. The thing was that I managed to get the nic to work perfect when I had it next to the gfx pci slot while when I had the gfx/nic in the first pci slot (as from the beg.) it wouldn't boot. So if I plug the hdd to my pc and install it there with the nic as it are now both nt 4 would work and maybe also the nic
