ms-6312 2000

[rlauckhardt]

I recently replace my mother board after unsucessful cap changed. It is a gateway microflex. I can reinstall win ME but can't upgrade to 2000 which I was running before the crash. Anyone know how to reload win 2000?

Using the Gateway System restore disk?

I formated the old drive used both the gateway and a 98se restore(boot) disk and then tried the win 2000 disk get up to "starting windows" I get a blue screen with a white bar at the bottom and it goes no further. I then installed ME using the gateway restore discs and it loads fine. I then tried to upgrade with the 2000 disc. Same thing. I have an XP disk as well which does the same thing. Gateway says the board is upgradable

Check the bios version in setup, then check Gateway for the latest flash bios.
It could affect some issues.

I've already updated the bios from gateway. The baord installed is the same part number but different version, but gateway says it is upgradable
