problems

[me]

i have an averatec notebook model 3150 and i hate windows
xp so i fdisked the hd and installed 2000 and now it
freezes up mid boot sometimes. it isnt drivers that i
have installed, but maybe 2000 pro.s drivers? i did
already contact averatec and they said that 2000 should
have no problems with my notebook. but i have this
problem. it isnt my disk, and it isnt something i am
trying to install. i have fdisked several times and even
mid install it stopped resonding. i have no idea what
the problem is and i cant contact microsoft right now
cause of the enormous wait due to the sasser worm. any
help!

If you have only in-box drivers installed, and you machine cannot boot, I
would seriously suspect the hardware.
But, to make sure there isn't anything wrong with your software:
- Boot to Recovery Console and run chkdsk /r
- Boot to Windows and run SFC /SCANNOW
- Troubleshoot with you antivirus software disabled
