Safe Mode Not Displaying Drivers

[Will]

I am trying to transfer a Windows 2000 install to new hardware and the
system hangs and reboots on one of the drivers. For some reason, starting
in Safe Mode is *not* displaying the list of drivers as it usually does, on
the new system. What would cause that and is there some extra step I can
take that would force display of each driver as it loads?

Run a repair installation of win and install drivers from their cd's NOT
winupdate

I did this and get same result. After repair, I hit F8 during initial boot
and get Safe Mode and select it. I do NOT get a list of drivers, just the
normal sliding bar during Windows 2000 boot up.

I think perhaps you are referring to the output from using the /SOS
switch in boot.ini? Please review the following articles.
