I have a brand new machine with Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 installed with all current SP's and fixes. Works fine... Howeverr, I need to get the OS to recognize all 8GB of RAM. The problem arrises when I add the /PAE switch to the boot.ini and reboot.
About halfway through the "Starting Windows" screen the computer Blue Screens and gives a "Stop: 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE" error. The only way "revive" the computer is by using the Recovery Console to replace the original boot.ini file. Then it boots normally again. I have been wrestling with this for quite a while now, and thought that someone might be able to shed some light on this situation. Thank you in advance for your time, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
Take care.
