Ok. I have an Asus P4P800e mb with a Pentium 4 3.2 ghz CPU, 4 gb ram. I tried to install Windows 2000 on an ssd, but it would not install and I got a bsod. I then installed Windows 2000 on a hard drive. This worked fine.

Therefore, I imaged the hard drive and cloned it to the ssd. I then swapped out the hard drive for the ssd amd tried to boot into Windows 2000, but I got the bsod again.

Any idea how I can fix this? Thanks.

I have basically the same motherboard with windows 98 booting from an SSD. I don't know why, but I believe some SSDs are just better with legacy IDE modes . I use a Kingston 120GB A400 with all my retro builds.

Error "0x0000007B" means inaccessible boot device.
Access the BIOS, go to the IDE Configuration section and switch the Onboard IDE operation mode from "Enhanced Mode" to "Compatible mode". Then try the installation again.

I will add to this. You can't just clone a HDD to a SSD. It will never work.

You must use software that specifically supports cloning from a HDD to a SSD so it can take care of the differences.

Also... what size is the SSD? Is the BIOS detecting it properly?

I switched to "compatible mode" and got the same bsod.

I've cloned a HDD to an SSD before with Windows 10 and it worked fine, but that might just be because it was Windows 10.

I used Macrium Reflect in Windows 10 to clone this HDD to SSD.

The SSD is a 500gb SanDisk. The bios is recognizing it properly.

Thanks.

Looks like Vista / 2008 and later is not nearly as involved when cloning from HDD to SSD. Before that requires extra steps.

The problem with switching between hdd/ssd is that they require different drivers.
Are they both IDE ? or is one or both SATA ?

Any idea why Windows 2000 would not install to the SSD in the first place (before I installed it to the HDD and then cloned the HDD)?

IDE was the standard back then, but I remember loading SCSI drivers during installation. (F6 iirc). So I guess that would be the same for SATA. Imo this is a driver problem.

Maybe something to do with the HDD size????

I was right, the default install is limited to 137GB. You need the EnableBigLba setting in the registry to use a larger partition. But it looks like it may affect installing to a larger partitioned drive as well.
Maybe do the registry edit on the HDD, then clone to the SSD.

Yeah, I had completely forgotten that was a problem back then.

It installed fine to the HDD, which was a 250gb drive.

Selectable 100G and more partition and quick format partition are  available for Windows 2000 Setup.

Although it is not extended kernel , but it is very long time issue for windows 2000 users :3
