hi there ,
I think this is due to the fact that when windows is copying th drivers the Monitor is not detected or The video card is not detected
or there is some Conflict elsewhere in thee system...
Try copying the files off to your Harddisk and run the setup (doesntwork)
Try getting the latest BIOS drivers(Doesntwork)
Go to the MS WIN2K compatibility List Website and check your Hardware!
Try to upgrade the OS with Win98 instead of Booting directly from the CD!
Hope it Helps You!!! Amen
