Win2k Pro installation problem
This is a discussion about Win2k Pro installation problem in the Customization Tweaking category; I am having some trouble getting Win2k Pro to install on my machine. I have had it installed before, and now when I boot from my cd, after it goes through the first thing where it loads the files, a blue screen error comes up every time.
I am having some trouble getting Win2k Pro to install on my machine. I have had it installed before, and now when I boot from my cd, after it goes through the first thing where it loads the files, a blue screen error comes up every time. A lot of the times it says something about ntoskrnl.exe
system specs:
AMD tbird 800@1000
Asus A7V rev. 1.02 BIOS 1007
Sound Blaster Live! X-Gamer
GeForce 2 Pro
IBM Deskstar 75GXP 15GB ATA/100
384 MB PC-100 CAS 2-2-2 RAM
please help, I don't know what else to do
p.s. - I also have tried installing Windows 98 SE and after it installs everything and boots into Windows for the first time, it hangs.

Just hint but any try look at you own spec 800@1000 = Overclock must like lee the problem.
i had the same problem after a build i did, it bluescreened on w2k saying about ntoskrnl or ntkrnlmp and w90 or me wouldnt install. After stripping the machine down and starting afresh i found it to be faulty memory
Here are some things to try, as I have the same board so Ive had my share of problems getting it too run. 1--set the cpu back to 800, 2--set the cas timings back to 3, 3--if youre installing with the IBM hooked up to the Promise ATA100 controllers, make sure you have the latest drivers downloaded and put them on a floppy with ALL the contents from the zip file.
Also, have you tried resetting the bios to the defaults. Ive found Win2k is much happier if you just leave the bios pretty much alone on this board.
