After I run winnt setup to install Windows 2000 the
computer ask me to reboot to complete the installation.
Unfortunately nothing happen when I reboot no installation
process no error message noting, just a blank screen.
Floppy is out.

Thanks
 
1. Does Safe Mode work?
2. When exactly do you get the blank screen? Does your computer go through
POST first?
 
Its a clean install on an old computer (maby Bios problem)
the HD is format /s Ive boot whit an Win98SE boot disk,
Ive load the smartdrv.exe I run from my Cd-Rom drive 1386
\winnt and the installation process start. Once they have
copy all nevesseray datat on the C drive they ask to
restart whitout floppy to continue the installation but
the problem are at this time whene he reboot he did not
continue the installation like id he just dont get acces
to the C drive. No message error, nothing on the screen.
Im an IT so you can speak me whit all your words :)

Thanks for your help and my poor english Im better in
