Just got a new hard drive from western digital.
installed and recognized by cmos setup. changed boot to
CDROM first.
Installation started and began to copy files.
Got few errors:
a. setup cannot copy file fp40ext.inf-skipped this.
b. file msvcrt.dll not copied correctly-skipped this.
Restarted and got error:
winlogon.exe-unable to locate DLL. the DLL txfaux.dll
could not be located in the specified path
C:\winnt\system32... and a long line of others.
Will these cause some problems? Do not want to continue to
install modem,and other applications if I have to re-
install this again.
If I do what is the best way to install it. I went to
Microsoft and printed their install procedures and
followed the instructions.
 
To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Windows 2000
CD-Rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the CD-Rom and execute
makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the
prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.

Usually copy errors like that are caused by an incompatible or a damaged
CD-Rom drive.
