Your boot problem might be caused by the HDD IDE channel.
This always happens when your HDD is connected to the UDMA 66 channel. Try to install Windows 2000 Pro on the UDMA 33 IDE channel and after installation, install the UDMA 66 driver for Windows 2000 from your motherboard manufacturer. After that, just switch back the UDMA 66 IDE cable.
Hope this solves your problems.

Try resetting the configuration data (or clear nvram with jumpers if its an older system). Also try resetting the bios defaults.
