Dear Group:
Does anyone know why I would be getting a list of errors while trying to
install Win2K on a used Acer Veriton 5100? It came without an OS and
although I've changed the memory and the hard drive, I experience the
following sets of errors:
1. It will copy Win2K Professional & Win2K Server files until 'a certain
point' after which it begins saying that the file could not be copied and
hit 'Esc' to skip, 'Enter' to Retry, 'F3' to Quit. Well, after choosing
'Enter' repeatedly, I have to hit 'Esc' and then it starts having trouble
with more files being copied.
2. After, some time of copying (yes, and 'Esc'-aping files that cannot be
copied), I get a Page Fault blue screen.

I'm puzzled if its the motherboard, the CD ROM drive or what. I've used
these CDs on other systems and they appear to be fine but I'm not sure what
I haven't checked on this machine. I bought the machine as a used system
from a local computer shop and this is the second used machine that has been
so ridiculous to setup.

Thanks for any help, pointers, advice,
Carl

Sounds like you ran out of disk space.

Did you tre-format the drive and set your partitions yet?
