I am installing windows pro 2000 on a blank harddrive. I start the computer with the disk in, and it goes straight to setup, and after checking hardware configuration and such it goes to the first option screen. I choose to install windows. Setup asks me to partition part of the harddrive, which I do, and after formatting and partitioning it copies some files and such. This all seems normal to me, after this it gives me the whole "eject any floppy disks and your computer will restart."
Now at this point things get fuzzy.
1) If I remove the cd, and change nothing, when the computer reboots and goes to a blank black screen.
2) If I change the BIOS and tell the computer to load from HDD-0 then the same thing happens as in 1
3) If I leave the cd in and load from the windows 2000 pc, it goes right back to the original setup screen from nefore, only now, when the partition option comes up, there are partitions available, but the pc will not allow me to install windows on the partition that was made.
Am I doing something wrong here? Am I missing something?
any help would be appreciated, thanks.
