1st part of install is fine, but after reboot it starts
all over with 1st part of install and never goes on to
complete the install

You didn't mention the drive controller (possibly SCSI, or ultra DMA, or
ATA100, or raid, or serial ATA), but you may need to boot the Windows 2000
setup disks or CD-Rom and *F6* very early and very important (at setup is
inspecting your system) in the setup to prevent drive controller detection,
and select S to specify additional drivers. Then later you'll be prompted to
insert the manufacturer supplied Windows 2000 driver for your drive's
controller in drive "A"

If you wait and then S to specify additional drivers, then it may be too
late as Windows 2000 Setup at this point may have already assigned the
resources your drive's controller is wanting to use.

Hello,

After the 1 st part of installation, when the computer reboots remove the
Windows 2000 installation CD from the CDROM drive.
Then insert the CD in to the CDROM drive when it prompts for the
installation CD again.
