Okay I am sick of trying to follow this site around and gettig IE security transfer popup box twice every time I follow a link, It sucks change it. Ore better yet how do I change it - its related to going from secure site to insecure site pages?But what I really am here for is Win 2K NT 5 install errors. I have had a hell of a time getting win2k on to a hard drive. Initially I did so using the cdrom. But found that I didn't want the partition arrangement I had.
Now after many attemps to reformat the hard drive within the setup program I would get this error message. Microsoft no help on it.
All in Navy Blue Screen with cryptic font.

*** STOP: 0x0000004E (0X00000099, 0X00000032, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

If this is the first time you have seen this Stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screeen appears again,
follow these steps:

Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer
for any Windows 2000 updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use Safe Mode to disable or remove components, restart
your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then
select Safe Mode.

Refer to our Gettting Started Manual for more information on
troubleshooting Stop errors.

I looked at the manual and the friggin windows starts here cd and there is nada thing about Stop error codes or on their website. yes there was a page on NT with some code numbers but durring last 6 reboots with corruted files being listed durring setup it actually had the odasity to ask me what is the error code? one time. this after trying the reformat with 98 mentioned just below this.

So I give up and try something else as setup

I had a quite similar error. The first advice of the dealer was a motherboard replacement by a 'more W2K compatible type', but that was nonsense - both models were compatible.

Then they finally found it - the IDE interface was switched on a low speed which didn't match with the 700 MHz processorspeed. Funny, on a system where NT worked flawlessly.

So really, clearly *something* in the hardware settings/components. W2K can be very, very critical for them - if your stuff is not on Microsofts HCL, have a good responsible supplier to put the blame on :-)

Have fun,

Your first answer is actually a setting of yours. You need to turn off warning when going from secure page. Goto tools, internet options, advanced and uncheck warn when changing between secure and not secure mode box near the bottom of advanced options,,,,

This Web site is silly and STUPID! Tech Republic sucks donkey dicks. We go thru massive logon procedures for not much help other than other lost SOULS in the Tech Republic!!!!!!!1 They should just give us free reign if they expect any respect at all!

I found one article that was a little usefull on BOSD yet meager. THis PLAce just generally sucks! It like Microsoft can't even tell me much about the bsod error screen.
Closest thing microcrap had was a NT 3.51 error with the same error# STOP: 0X0000004E

*** STOP: 0x0000004E (0X00000099, 0X00000032, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)

hat was in the tch section
the Knowledge bas sucked just like there manuals.

My real problem really was hardware related and yes I feel stupid for it however this is the fix if the mother brd isn't replaced to fix it.

The real problem was motherboard related as much as we can tell right now. something Erik stated . Wrong answer but right track.
