Windows 2000 installation to CompactFlash cards

[spaztron64]

So a few of you might know that trying to install Win2k to devices it treats as removable will result in INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE, especially modern CompactFlash cards that can't be set to fixed disk mode.

Recently I tried to install the Hitachi Microdrive (cfadisk.sys) driver on a platter drive installation that pointed to a CF card. Then I dd-ed the installation from the platter to the CF and it actually worked....kinda.
The OS got severely corrupt in the transfer process to the point of unusability.

Then, I've been trying to somehow slipstream cfadisk.sys into the text-mode and GUI-mode setups, but that didn't work out.

And no, this (http://vega.pgw.jp/~kabe/win/atapirv/W2kRmvInst.html) did not work.

I should mention that I've been doing this on a PC-98 and the PC-98 version of Win2k, but there's not much difference when it comes to this between it and the IBM PC versions.

If anybody's got ideas, please share them.
