When I try to reinstall win 2000 I get an error message:
Cyclic-redundancy-check error on data. Retry or Fail.
It hangs at this point, any suggestions?

Are you reinstalling Win2000 or WinME?

In either case, is your hdd exhibiting any other symptoms? Heads slipping or making more noise than usual?

Backup your system and then run a thourough scandisk and defrag. If you keep getting CRC errors that "hangs" you computer, you may be looking at hdd failure soon.
