A win2k or winxp hd from another system is allmost bound to fail, at the
least a repair installation of win is required to load the correct drivers
Win9* is wholy different to a winnt based sys
Generally win2k/winxp installation problems are down to;
1) Dodgy memory
2) Faulty cd drive
3) Damaged cd
4) Other hw periferals that are connected during the installation
www.memtest.org for a memory testing utiity
Disconnect all extra periferals leaving only a single hd, single memory
stick, cd, vid.card & keybd/mouse
PS Your vid.card supports win2k/winxp? You are clean installing & not
attempting an upgrade?
