Re: Can't install Win 2000 on my computer

What service pack level is the Win2K setup disk? If it's and older setup
disk, it might not support the large disks.

If not, try disconnecting everything you can possibly disconnect and see
if you can get hardware detection to finish and then add the devices back in
after Win2K is running.
