Help!! Can't install W2k

[Guest]

I have a new machine; Asus A7V133 mb, Athlon 1.4, and can't install Windows 2000 on my HD. It's the same HD I used in my old machine, and previously had W2k. 30G drive, 3 partitions. I reformatted the c: (W2K) Partition, and tried to reinstall. I load the 4 floppies just fine. The system reboots and begins the install. Then Windows begins to detect my hardware. About 3/4 of the way through I get a BSOD simply stating a Hardware Malfunction System has Halted. The MB/Processor should be fine; i've installed xp on a different drive. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

did you run the compatibliity utillity before you loaded? and you will need to go find new drivers for all you hardware. w2k is one of the toughest own comptibility you need to go to this web site ok

I finally managed to get XP loaded. Although I would prefer W2K. I believe the problem was that I was using my DVD Drive for the install. A friend had gave it to me free so you can guess the quality. I will try to install 2000 when I get a chance (after I reinstall my CD-Rom drive of course!) Thanks.
