problems installing win 2k pro

[chickenhq]

i'm having trouble installing windows 2000 i gets up to the network setting tab saying installing networking components the computer reboots then setup is run again & again why ? the first time i reached this tab it said appser.cls and ienumn.cls could not be found i directed it to the cdrom it found the two files but the computer rebooted shortly after that also..

Is this a clean install or an upgrade? You can try copying the CD to your HDD and run it from there. When it asks for the disk, point it to the HDD.

i must apologise chickenhq. i read your post last nite and the feces hit the fan elsewhere or would of posted sooner.

could it be that the cd-rom may be corrupted? it sort of may sound like it may be. sometimes install cd surface has fingerprints, spots, etc. maybe turn cd over and scrub install side with some coarse steel wool or maybe even 80 grit sandpaper.
this will really get rid of spots fast. taking apart hard drive and scrubbing platter with sandpaper also helps. ha-ha!

i have sent the files in question to you here. spycat not know if cd you have is original, slipstreamed, home-made, etc. 1 folder will be win 2000 pro that has been slipstreamed to service pack 3 level. other folder has files in question off from microsoft win2000 original disk (you know, with all kinds of shiny cool surfaces.). these are known good files.

and check spycat's post for "wincdman". very cool prog.

hope all goes well. good luck

I can't believe you would tell someone this! You should know that 10 grit is better! LMAO
