Everything seems to be ok, only rarely the dvd rom on the second ide cable disappear under win2k (it says I have removed it?). Also, sometimes I take my home hdd (which works ok here) to my workplace, and attach it instead of the dvd rom. Mostly I get the same errors you described. Sometime if I change the end of the cable, then it works, and occassionaly it boots ok anyway. I think it can be bios (very stupid one)/cable. Also my motherboard a bit strange, the first ide is ATA100, and the second is not! So try to exchange ide cables if you can do it.
