Can't say anything about the error other than windows is
not finding your hard drive. BUT...even though your
machine exceeds the minimum specs for a w2K install, it's
astronomically anemic in processor horsepower and
available RAM (W2K wants 128 MB ram to EXIST!). Do
yourself a favor and buy a new machine to go with your
new software.

You write "I purchased Win2000 last week". What exactly did you do with it?
Install on a blank disk? Upgrade an existing installation? What
installation?

And yes, as other posters have observed, your memory is grossly inadequate
for Win2000.
