Troubleshooting Setup

During the GUI portion of Setup, Windows 2000 installs drivers, creates accounts, configures the network settings, and builds the system tree. If there are hardware problems or conflicting hardware settings, Windows 2000 probably will not succeed in installing or upgrading.

Problems after the final reboot of Windows 2000 Setup are normally due to incorrect information either in the Boot.ini file or in the hardware configuration. For more information about troubleshooting startup problems, see "Startup Process" in this book.

Many problems can be avoided with routine virus checks. Be sure to check for viruses before installing or upgrading to Windows 2000 on a computer that is already in use.
