The menu for this evening (each process going twice - rebooting once from CD and once from Windows Safe Mode after each bit):
1. Disable RAID in CMOS, as it isn't needed
2. Remove USB connectors for front panel
3. Remove USB support in CMOS
4. Attempt to boot from full version Windows 2000 CD
5. Switch to older CD-ROM
6. Hit F6 when booting from CD, specify additional drivers for IDE from manufacturer's mobo disk
7. Bios Flash, followed by CMOS reset, followed by boot from CD
8. Use both HDs on good computer, backup all files to old HD, format current HD, use full-version Windows 2000 disk, boot from CD.
Somewhere in there I am sure to get this fixed tonight.
