Can't install Win2K

G

Guest

have tried to install Windows 2000 on my computer but I can only get as far
as :Regional setting -- ie. Local and Keyboard" then it just freezes.
For the life of me I just can't figure so I am stuck with XP lol.

I disconnected the Printer and SATA drive, taken out the Ledtek card and
changed my keyboard to ps2 (had to disconnect the mouse, didn't have a spare
usb to psc plug)

My system is

K8n NEO Platinum Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64+ 3200 CPU with Thermaltake Venus12 fan
2 gig DDR400 memory
MSI NX6600GT Video Card
Leadtek Winfast DTV1000T TV Card
250 GIG Western Digital IDE HD (with 5 partitions)
200 GIG Western Digital SATA HD (with 4 partitions)
80 gig WD IDE External HD for backups
NEC ND 3520A DVD Burner
Pioneer 110 DVD Burner
SoundBlaster Audigy2 ZS soundcard
Topower TOP-500PS 560W PSU
Thermaltake Kandalf Tower
Logitech Elite Keyboard
Logitech Optical Mouse
Altec Lansing 5100 5.1 speaker system

Did you F6 and load the serial ATA controller driver?

Oops, missed that! Then you might want to remove (or disable) the sata
controller, tv card and leave only the bootable DVD drive.

This sounds like bad hardware. You might start by testing the RAM
