Setup stop code

[Mark]

Have installed W2000 on an old 300mhz PC and runs slow,
but install went fine. Now have built new PC with all-in-
one MB with onboard 850mhz CPU, 128 DDR memory, ATA100 HD.
Setup goes fine until auto restart.. then stop code:
0x0000000A, ... ,...,0x8043BCDD) IRQL_not_less_or_equal.
Base at 80400000 date stamp 384d9b17 - ntoskrnl.exe
Have read kb article #130802...way over my head!
This is a fresh install on a new HD. Formatted HD ,using
Wme startup disk, just like old 300mhz install - FAT32,
then W2000 setup asks to convert to NTFS..YES, then files
are copied and everything is fine until auto-restart.
Any help appreciated.
Thank you
Mark

Don't pre-partition or pre-format or use convert.exe Do choose NTFS during
text-mode portion of setup. You'll want to boot the Windows 2000 setup disks
or CD-Rom. 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.

Then *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 manufacturer
supplied Windows 2000 driver for your ultra ATA 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.

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.
