Fred, this might not be your problem if you were using 2000 on this machine
before and all you did was install a new harddrive but this is what happened
to me. I'm still in learning mode with 2000 so what I'm saying is just a
suggestion.
After I installed 2000, I decided to add a PCI Modem. After I installed the
modem and rebooted, mine would only boot to the splash screen but with no
error message. To troubleshoot I removed all my USB cables and rebooted.
It booted fine this time. I found out that my new PCI modem was conflicting
with the USB LAN that I used because the USB card was in a PCI slot. I
unplugged the LAN cable from that USB card and plugged it into one of the
onboard USB slots and everything is working fine. I went back and read my
modem book and it said that if I had any other modem in a PCI slot that I
would have to remove it. I didn't think about my USB LAN being a modem but
I guess it was. Things are fine now. Things that worked fine with XP (I
downgraded from XP to 2000) won't necessarily work with 2000. I previously
had an external USB modem that I used with XP but when I used it with 2000 I
couldn't shutdown without unplugging the USB modem first even though it had
drivers for 2000. The driver wouldn't unload fast enough during shutdown.
I guess what I'm getting at is that I had conflicts with hardware in 2000
that I didn't have in XP so the new hardware could be your problem (or not).
