installing windows 2000

Try to use another CD-ROM drive or media CD.

I had the same problem installing w2k once while I was hooked to a mass storage controller as opposed to the controller on the mb, once I switched and used the mb controller everything was fine and then I was able to put my hard drive back on the other contoller.

One of the first things that you want to do is check the HCL(Hardware Compatability list)( http://windows.microsoft.com/windows2000/reskit/webresources )to make sure all the hardware on your system is going to work with the Windows NT system and thefirst would be the CD Rom and Hard Drive.

Also, Try uninstalling all cards except any necessary for running your system. After installation of W2K reinstall one at a time to see what might have caused the problem.

The most common answer you might need to try - Change your CD media / CDRom - if you use CD to install. HCL is another thing to look into it.

Cheers!
