I have a Ibm GXP 45.0gig 7200rpm harddrive that is giving me fits!
I ghosted another drive to it, and have been running win2k on it for weeks with few problems.
I decided to do a clean install - fdisked, formated and booted off the win2k cdrom.
The files started to copy to the drive and the when it says starting windows 2000
I get a bluescreen error **** Stop:0X00000006b....................process1_initialization_failed.
I have disabled everything imaginable in bios (abit kt7-raid 1.0gig cpu)and just have video, ram, cpu and harddrive installed.  yes I did install the latest VIA 4in1 drivers.
I have used "zap disk" "wipe", fdisk /mbr,  and all the IBM utilitys say the drive
is okay, I also lowlevel formatted. The drive has a fat32 partition using the entire drive space. I have tried booting from the floppy start disks also.

Just for a test I installed win98 on it and it worked fine, Then installed win2k
over the top of win98 and got the blue screen again when windows 2000 started.
Win98 still runs fine.
Even tried ghosting win2k from another working win2k harddrive that I'm running now, same 
blue screen.
I finally used a new 30gig 5400rpm maxtor and win2k installed okay.So it almost has to
be a drive issue.
 Any ideas? 
Thanks in advance
