HELP: W2K stuck during startup.

I just installed W2K in a multiboot system (installed in this order: 98SE/NT4(sp6a)/W2K). 98 and NT4 installed and loaded fined. W2K installed without any problems, but when it finished all the setup parts and starts for real, it just hangs at the screen (W2K graphic in BackGrd)"Windows is starting..." with the blue loading squares at 100%. The keyboard responds to the num-lock. What is it doing? Is it trying to figure out IP addys? I took out the W2K partition and reinstalled, and same problem of stuck at loading...

I have the following setup:
MSI K7T Pro2A
IBM 75GXP 30GB (partitions are like this: C:FAT16.600MB for system files &swap/D:FAT16.W98/E:NT4.NTFS/F:W2K.NTFS)
Ricoh CDRW
Raite DVD
Elsa GeForce2 AGP
3dfx V3 2000 PCI (dual monitor stuff)
DLink PCI Combo Card (10BaseT & Coax)
Linksys PCI 10/100
PCI Modem
MX300 Sound Card
 
Had this happen once. I just let it churn for a while, no HD lite on or any thing. Then it finally finished booting. Took about 5 mins.

Bozo 😀
