I want to reinstall a clean w2k system on a notebook with
a damaged modem.

The current W2K pro system runs fine, with the on-board
modem disabled and a replacement PCMCIA modem card, but
W2k pro won't reinstall on a second (3Gb free) partition
on the machine - the install hangs during hardware
detection, and if I try this phase again in "Safe mode" I
get a fatal error reported.

I've also tried to reinstall on to a clean formatted (FAT
or NTFS) 6Gb disk, getting the same error.

Can install and run W98 though, with defective modem
disabled...

Can anyone help me over this block pls?
