onboard sound with the mobo
dlink nic
creative 48x cdrom
1stick of 256 ram pc133
athlon 100fsb 1ghz cpu
ati rage128 agp video
i don't have anything on the raid controllers
disabled USB in bios
i am only installing with the:
agp
nic
hd
cdrom
sound jumper set to on.....
i set to boot from cd first
and the install proceeded
i set the single hd to one partition NTFS select
it formatted
then proceeded to install win2k
all seemed fine,
i goto the point where i set my keyboard and time settings
and typed in the cdkey
then gave teh pc a name blablabla
what happens then it the last part where it registers the components
and then just hangs and hard locks i let it sit there for a good 20minits cause some times the install takes a while at that stage
but the mouse wasn't responding, (ps2 mouse) and then i had to hit the reset button, and it then did the final stages of the install again, then just hung, this time sooner.
i am going to pull the nic (dlink 10/100 dfe 530tx) and disable the onboard sound for now, see if that helps,
but i wouldn't mind some added input on what might be causing this install to choke.
as mentioned nothing is on the raid ide's
the cdrom is SECONDARY MASTER the hd is PRIMARY MASTER
the RAID JUMPER is set to OFF as well and in bios the ide devices are seen correctly, i am using a 300w power supply as well.
i am a little stumped.
TIA

i did disable onbaord sound and pulled the nic,
it finished the install and am at my desktop,
first thing i did on the fresh install was INSTALL VIA 4IN1 4.27A kit (the one just released the other day) rebooted then installed SP2 it hardlocked on the sp2 install i rebooted again and restarted the sp2 install and it completed.
so far so good.....
