I have tried to load the win 2000 pro disk on this
computer, all goes well until the first resart, the
computer tries to restart and stops upon reboot on a blank
screen as if the cd will not continue to load. Any
suggestions?
 
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.
