PII 400Mhz Laptop Wont Install Windows 2000

[Nick601 0]

Hey

 

I have a Samsung Laptop (Spec Below)

 

PII 400MHz

256 Mb SDRAM

6Gb Hard Drive

 

and usual cd rom drive floppy etc

 

i have managed to install windows XP on this machine in the past but it crashed when it was shutting down every time

 

since then i have been using windows ME

 

i now want to try and install Windows 2000 Pro and it copied the setup files without a problem but after it restarts and goes to the blue screen it stops when it says SETUP IS STARTING WINDOWS 2000

 

Any ideas?

I have this issue from time to time and I just try to boot again from the CD. It starts fine after a few tries.

ok think i have sorted the problem

 

I have mis-matched memory in the laptop which is preventing it from working properly

 

i have however managed to install windows XP on to it so alls well that ends well!!

 

Thanks for reply!
