Computer Help...Having troubles with Win 2000/XP Install

(1/9) > >>

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?

PCtech:
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

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

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.
