| MYX:
Hey all, I am trying to install Win 2000. The whole install goes in fine. I repartition into NTFS and do the install. Then it gets to a point and tries to re-start. It then hangs. The screen is still the blue "Windows 2000 professional set up" screen and at the bottom it says "Restarting computer..." at this point it just hangs forever. I tried this several times and thought that perhaps the hard drive was bad. I swapped it out and still had the same issue. So, I tried swaping out the CD drive. Same issue still hanging at the same point. What do ya think? |

I always try re-formatting/re-partitining the hard drive when I run into errors. Here is something that was posted, that might help....recommends using a smaller partition, to see if that is the problem. Might also try technet http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=41100 Good Luck, let me know how it goes. |

Something is hanging you up on install, 2000 is bad about drivers, I would pull everything but the video & reinstall you should be able to eliminate the problem that way thanks dm |

When I re-install 2000 I allways pull out anything that isn't necessary... priner, scanner, NIC..... I also reformat the HD and I never have any problems |

I've had this problem several times - sometimes it's hardware, but I've also seen a bad disc cause the problem. Try a different disc/optical drive. |
