screen.

you can install win2k on a logical drive
however as is the case with all versions of windows
the "boot files" will still be installed on the primary partition.
 
yes, that's what i thought

btu for some reason it keeps rebooting itself just after the startup screen,
any ideas about that?

thanx john

probably some hardware incompatibility

you may want to try again with a minimal hardware configuration...
ie: remove all non-essential items such as modem, sound card etc

also you may want to try setting the bios to it's minimum default
