This usually means that the driver for you hard drive / controller is incompatible. For example, installing Win2K on an unsupported SCSI card would cause this.

Try:
1. I?m not sure if this covers boot drivers but try booting to ?Last known good configuration? using the Win2K advance boot menu (Press F8 during start-up)
2. Boot to Win2KPro CD and run the emergency repair procedure (if your HD controller is unsupported, press F5 when instructed during the CD boot to load controller driver)

YOu have to go to the manufacturer of your server/pc and download the scsi drivers and scsi hd controllers for your harddisk.
During setup you have to press f8 to install the drivers (it will prompt for the diskkete), and you are done.

I assume that the Hard drive will spin up. If its too quiet check if its working at all and that cables are on and OK.
Did it work before and now quit?

The stop Codes should be of help maybe if the above is OK.
