hi,

are there still all drivers available to run windows 2000 sp4 on one or both of the following motherboards?

win xp 32bit is supported so i'm pretty sure win2k will work as well - or am i wrong?

ASUS P5G41T-M LX

MSI G41M-P25

XP drivers have no reason to work with W2k. Forget that.

Now in 2011, indications for drivers working with W2k are getting unreliable. Some do work but aren't tested, others do but any reference to W2k was removed on suppliers' web pages, and occasionally some drivers claiming W2k don't install properly, including for nVidia video.

You know the name of your Asus and Msi mobos. The right way is to look at Asus and Msi websites and download the proper drivers! But be sure to distinguish between Intel Sata drivers and Sata drivers for some added chip, among which JMicron for instance would be slow and concealed under an other name like Gigabyte.

For the Sata drivers, don't operate the controller in IDE mode, it's really much slower. You do need Ahci mode, hence the proper driver.
