I am trying to install Win2000 server on a clean system. PIII 800Mhz, 512meg memory

I am using the set up disks I made from the cd, during the install process I get the following on the blue screen

File \ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded
The error code is 7

Setup cannot continue. Press any key to continue

Can anyone help me out here?? I am dead in the water before I even get started!!!

You will get this message if you use setup diskettes created with makeboot.exe instead of makebt32.exe on a machine with Windows 9x OS already installed.

Use the correct one of the two programs on the MAKEBOOT folder within the setup CD of any Windows 2000 product. Where x is the CD drive x:
c:> x:
x:> cd \bootdisk
x:> makebt32 a:

That should bring your setup process back to life.

Good luck,

Maxwell
