windows 2000 set-up locks up when the INSTALLING DEVICES
portion of the set-up is half done. I have tried to have
windows 2000 cd-rom repair and it still does the same
thing. I have let the set-up process alone for over a half
hour! I cannot get into WINDOWS at all. I have also
switched the BIOS settings to boot off the WIN 2000 CD, or
off the hard drive. I do not have a set of boot disks for
win 2000. Please help!
 
Greetings --

Had you made sure that your PC's hardware components were capable
of supporting Win2K? This information will be found at the PC's
manufacturer's web site, and on Microsoft's Hardware Compatibility
List: (http://www.microsoft.com/hcl/default.asp)

You should have, before proceeding, taken a few minutes to ensure
that there were Win2K device drivers available for all of the
machine's components. There may not have been, if the PC had been
specifically designed for Win98/Me. Also bear in mind that PCs
designed for and sold with Win9x very often do not meet Win2K's much
more stringent hardware quality requirements. Win2K is quite
sensitive to borderline defective hardware (particularly motherboards,
RAM and hard drives) that will still support Win9x.

I have same problem. This didn't work for me but maybe it
will for you. Doing some searching/troubleshooting I
found that my bios needed needed to be updated newer
update, for Win2k to work. I updated mine and still got
same problem but maybe this will work for you.
