Do u get an error somthing like:

*** Stop:0x00.................................
INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE

If so i got that error and it is to do with the CD rom drives. Post back if it was that and i'll try to help

thx for ur interesst but no , there is no anything about boot
while setup is inspecting and installing hardware the screen starts to flick and suddenly becomes all blue with text : hardware malfunction : contact ur hardware dealerText , ( the progress line is about in the half of the way )
that's it , i personnaly think that it is AGP driver problem on this VIA chipset , W2K has wrong drivers from VIA , but there is no way to put proper driver whithout a system already installed ( during an installation of w2k u can only add SCSII and IDE drivers )

Ok. I am assuming you have the KT133 chipset as shown on this link here
If so, you have an on-board sound controller. Win2K does not like the AC97 controller for some reason. I had the same problem with the Epox 8KTA series of boards. Before you start to install, go into the bios and completely disable the on board sound. Install Win2K, then install the sound drivers from disk. Then you can re-enable the sound in the bios and all will be well.
