Can’t Install W2K?

by pc link . Updated 23 years, 9 months ago

I am building a workstation to with all individually purchased parts. The system is an AMD XP1600 w/Biostar MB. I am trying to install W2K on the workstation and it fails at the same point each time. It will format the H/D and after that it begins to copy the system files to appropriate directories. This fails at the same place each time on a dll called compstui.dll. I can force to retry and it eventually goes but then it fails at 10 other dll’s and then gets to shell32.dll and goes no further.The same thing happens if I try to install W2k Advanced Server. All hardware is brand new. Any ideas on why this fails. The cd is a copied cd, but since it happens on Server install it leads me to think that it is not the software. Any help would begreatly appreciated.
