I was working on a server computer that had a 20gb SCSI drive. The motherboard had IDE capabilities and the customer wanted a larger HD because they were running out of room. So we ordered a new WD 320 gb IDE drive and cloned (using Acronis True Image) the SCSI drive to the IDE drive successfully. I disconnected the SCSI drive and hooked up the IDE drive to master and when it gets to the Windows Server 2000 splash screen, I get a BSOD that says "the hard disk is inaccessible". I switched up some jumper settings and the way the cables were connected but still got the same problem. The motherboard has a Pentium 3 CPU and there is 1 gb RAM.

any thoughts

Unfortunately this sometimes happens when you switch hard drive controllers. Several solutions come to mind, first is going back to a SCSI drive, the second is to perform a repair installation of Windows. Third is to use Acronis Universal Restore: http://kb.acronis.com/content/2149

And maybe the best one if it works is this: http://www.mostlycreativeworkshop.com/Article11.html
