Win 2k pro install hangs

Unable to install win 2k pro because it hangs at 12% (driver.cab). Hard
drive has been formatted so many times I have lost count. I am using win 2k
pro w/sp3 and have tried installing on a clean disk and also tried upgrading
from nt. And always.........I mean always............like in every single
time the install hangs at 12% (driver.cab). I have tried install on
different hard drives with the same results. Right now it has been stopped
at 12% for over an hour. Have been trying for months w/o any luck just the
same thing over and over and over. Get fed up and put it aside for another
week before I mess with it. The hard drive is 120 gb wd, floppy, 100 zip and
32x rom. Have swapped out the cd roms and same thing. Anyone have any
ideas? Thanks, Richard

Sounds like installation disk has defects in it.
Try different installation disk.
Good luck.
