ok here's what's happening.... i've got an old gateway computer (200mhz) and i'm going to be setting it up for a web server. i'm installing windows 2000 pro because at the moment that's all i have. but after it goes through the very first setup stuff when it copys the basic drivers to the ram, it freezes at, "Setup is nmow starting windows 2000" and then it just stops. i've done it tons of other times on other comps and they go to the screen that asks if you agree to the terms and conditions.but for some reason this one hangs.... I've done it on another computer exactly the same setup before, but that one got fried. Any thoughts to this would be greatful..<BR><BR>

IS that enough power for 2000? I don't own 2000, I only see it work but don't mess with it. Not to many ppl here have it I would guess. I'm answering because no one else has.
