Installing problems

I know that ive had a post similar to this before but please i need your help
Got the KR7A-133, booted with AMD XP 1800+, went to install Windows 2000 Pro Sp2.
Changed the boot order to CDrom first in my bios and put the cd in and restarted
the machine. Windows 2000 install screen came up, went through a couple of screens
and said it needed to format my harddrive to NTFS. I clicked ok, and it started.
About 8mb of converting, i got an error message.
It was long, and said that there was a hardware problem. It said that if this was
the first time seeing the message just restart the maching and continue the process.
If it was not the first time then take out any newly installed hardware.
I restarted my machine, and went through the same process again, and it stopped at
8mb again w/ the same message. At this point I decided to look at my processor settings
in the bios, i see my XP 1800+ plus running at 55 C. Very very upset and underclock
it to 1700+ speed. I restart the machine and nothing comes up, blank screen.
I cleared the CMOS and the speed went back to default and 1800+ speed. However now
I try to change my boot order to CDrw first, and i restart the machine, and nothing
will come up. When i clear the CMOS the machine will boot but when i try to change
somethign and restart it nothing will happen.....what to do?

1. You need to remake the boot disks, there is a good chance that one of the floppies
is no good.
2. Download and put onto floppy disk your IDE Drivers for your motherboard.
3. during setup it says press F6 to install 3rd party or scsi drivers, press F6.
4. when prompted insert your driver floppy.
5. if still a problem set your IDE drives to ATA66 in the BIOS (if u can). windows
2000 has a problem with ATA100.
6. there is a good chance you fried something when you underclocked your athlon so
best of luck. let me know how it goes.

I am running all ATA 100 Drives and have no problems... WHat problems are you having
Justin? In reponse to the initial problem it sounds like an IDE controller driver
error.. and you should install 3rd party drivers as stated by Justin. Let me know
your problem Justin...

I don't have a problem with windows 2000, I am a system administrator working with
win2k pro, svr and adv svr every day, some installations have required the drives
to be set to PIO mode 4 in the BIOS in order for a succesfull installation to be
carried out. If you check the following URL there is a hotfix available once you
have installed win2k.
