Windows 2000 pro stuck at loading bar screen

KNanthrup · 02-14-2007, 05:07 PM

I recently went from XP pro back to windows 2000pro on my desktop and now for some reason after installation it gets stuck at the second loading screen. The loading bar gets all the way full and then it just stops where it should go into windows explorer. I am able to boot in safe mode into windows, but I am not sure what even to do in safe mode to fix it. I installed using NTFS first and then reformatted using FAT32 and both have the same result. I also tried repairing. Installation was done with the 4 win2k boot disks and the win2k CD.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
