Well, I’m blogging from work….

The case modification on Weds. went well, though it took longer than expected (I was trying to be careful and clean). Cutting out the back panel for the motherboard was the tricky part. (I’m taking pictures of everything, so stay tuned.)

The new board mounted up just fine. All the hardware went back in just fine. Boot up and enter BIOS went fine - all hardware correctly identified. Boot up to Windows, not so fine. It began the boot process then ran into a problem with the drive. I’ve got to check some hardware settings before I panic too much. However, my suspicion is that the Windows 2000 install is mucked. I think I mentioned before that it was getting a bit hinky on me and I was planning on refreshing it. Well, looks like I might be doing that from DOS.

Stay tuned for our next exiting chapter, hopefully coming to you from 7X. (That seems to have become the name of the new box.)
