If I remember right there is this same problem with Windows 2000 and a fresh install. If you wait for the F6 to come up in installing Win 2000 it is already to late. Win 2000 will not install the driver for the drive. What you need to do is as soon as you get a splash screen of the Windows install and before it even says that is inspecting you machine, start hitting the F6 key until windows 2000 comes up and says unable to load drive. Do you want to install a driver. Here is where you install the drivers.

This has been a known problem with MS 2000. Hope it helps.
