During any installation of 2K as setup is copying files
over I get " stop: C0000145 unknown hard error". I can't
find any refrence to it any where.

Sys is:

ASUS A7V-E
AMD Duron 1300
128MB PC133
Diamond III S540 32MB AGP
Seagate 40 GIG

all have less than one year but the video. All componants
test out fine over and over...WTF?!
 
You didn't mention the drive controller (possibly SCSI, or ultra DMA, or
ATA100), but you may need to boot the Windows 2000 setup disks or CD-Rom and
*F6* very early and very important (at setup is inspecting your system) in
the setup to prevent drive controller detection, and select S to specify
additional drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to insert the Windows 2000
driver for your drive's controller in drive "A"

If you wait and then S to specify additional drivers, then it may be too
late as Windows 2000 Setup at this point may have already assigned the
resources your drive's controller is wanting to use.
