I want to install winn200pro on my computer that had
win98. I removed all files and formated c: to prepare 2000
installation. During the win200 setup process my computer
shuts down as if it lost power. I restart by unpluging and
replugging. The computer does the same thing as if it has
entered a hibernate mode or standby. Any help out there?
 
To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Windows 2000
CD-Rom; change to the \bootdisk directory on the CD-Rom and execute
makeboot.exe (from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the
prompts.

When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.
