It looks like the pc dosnt support ata133. Older pcs had ata100. If you have an old harddrive try that but trust me with this. Windows 2k isnt the best on 333Mhz. Been there. Done that.

i put another HDD in it, as i found that the other HDD was bad. i put 256mb of ram in it and it is running windows 2000 pro flawlessly. the minimal requirements for 2000 are, 64mb ram and an 133mhz or greater class pentium. so i got 256 and 333. its working great.
