Hi All,

I am facing some problem when installing Windows 2000 to my PC, i have
formatted all the drives and when started installing W2K, it gives NO
EMULATION at the starting then if i continue setup progresses, and copies
some of the file to HardDisk, then after some time it stops and hangs, and i
am not able to continue, installation,. Please let me know why this error
occurs and what is the solution?
 
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.

Be sure to apply these to your new install before connecting to any network.

Sounds like your CD-ROM is copied or slipstreamed and burnt. NO EMULATION is
the message from bootable El-Torito CD-ROM and it's normal.
