I installed win2k pro on an NT4.0 wrkstation as a dual boot OS. However, after install was completed; W2K tries to boot up, it freezes at the logo window that has the colored "starting windows indicator". What has happened and why can it not get pass that screen?

It might be a hardware issue, an adapter card specifically. I tried a(used)sound card on my w2k machine and got the same symptoms. Booted fine after I removed the card. Wasn't on the HCL(duh). Check the HCL for your system.

Found out it was a hardware issue and it was the video card conflict. I remove the card and 2000 picked-up the on bord card. After that I install the pci video card and it worked fine.
