The boot up time is quite fast. &nbsp;Please provide more information on the hardware you are using. Is this a generic PC/server, NIC cards, video cards etc. Just because the motherboard is new does not mean everything will work. A host of things can cause this problem. &nbsp;

Dear IT experts,<br />
<br />
I have problem completing a win2k server installation. The win2k startup failed to load (it just hung saying loading) after all files copied for the first time and rebooted. I waited for a long time so did the whole install again and same thing happened. How long does one need to wait or does it suppose to boot up very quickly for the first time?<br />
<br />
Long time ago I had the same problem but I overcame it by installing it to NT4 then upgrade it to Win2K but that is too troublesome &amp;&nbsp;time consuming. Can anyone offer your expertise? My motherboard is quite new so it support win2k for sure.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
