Can’t install Win 2000 hangs on Devices

I was having problems with my computer. Hardware some how was disabled. Could not reinstall. I Reformatted my hard drive and was reinstalling Windows 2000, but everytime it gets to where it is detecting and installing devices, it stops. I installed Windows 98 and it let me do it, but most of my hardware is unistalled and I can’t seem to install the drivers for printer and other devices. If anyone knows what is going on here, I would greatly appreciate your help.
