i am trying to install w2k pro. it wont boot from the cd
so i had to use boot disks to install. when it gets to
the fourth boot disk it says that it is starting w2k then
gives me the blue screen of death and gives me this
error:

0x0000006B (0xc0000018, 0x00000005, 0x00000000,
0x00000000) PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

what can i do to fix this?

thank you
 
You didn't mention the drive controller (possibly SCSI, or ultra DMA, or
ATA100, or raid, or serial ATA), but you may need to boot the Windows 2000
setup disks or CD-Rom and *F6* very early and very important (at setup is
inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive controller detection,
and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to
insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2000 driver for your drive's
controller in drive "A"

If you wait and then S to specify additional drivers, then it may be too
late as Windows 2000 Setup at this point may have already assigned the
resources your drive's controller is wanting to use.

its an old computer with only a 233mhz pentium cpu, so
its probably ata100. im not really sure about who the
manufacturers are on most of the hardware. ill try and
see what i can find out though.
