Win2k install problem..

Hey everyone...

I'm having trouble installing Windows 2000 Pro on a desktop.
First, the specs:

Intel SE440BX board
Intel Pentium2, 400MHZ CPU (!)
Quantum 3GB drive
SB16 soundcard
LT WinModem
USR 802.11g NIC

So here's what's happening:
OS installs fine, expect when it boots the final time and runs the Network Identification Wizard. This is where is hangs.
I can't click on 'Next' or tab over to 'Cancel' either. Hitting 'Enter' doesn't do anything.

I've removed the modem and network card and re-installed the OS - no change; still the same problem.

Anyone come across this before or have any input please?

Thanks!

 

I think it's your HDD.
Your HDD(hard drive device) is to small.

 

No, its not the drive size thats the problem.

After playing around some more, I've discovered that its the PS/2 ports on the mainboard - Windows isn't picking up the keyboard and mouse connected via PS/2. I plugged in a USB keyboard and it works fine.

What's puzzling is, during POST, the BIOS is able to detect the keyboard. It was also working when this computer had Windows 98 installed.

What gives?!

 

there must be a lose connection or hardware problem. your processor is very low too, so perhaps a new motherboard, and processor would do the trick

 

I'm thinking it might be a driver problem? I mean, the OS runs just fine, and if I use a USB keyboard, everything is good.

Not sure if it really is a hardware problem, especially since the BIOS can detect PS/2 keyboard during POST.

Hmmm....
