install in partition in a later part of the hard disk it fails and i get a
message reinstall windows root ntoskrnl.exe which i read a bout but thats not
the problem"

After the install you can apply the reghack in this article.

48-Bit LBA Support for ATAPI Disk Drives in Windows 2000

Be sure to apply these to your new install before connecting to any network.
