                                            | Im installing SQL Server 2k, and im running into a problem installing it. Everything goes well, until the end, and it freezes at..."setup is starting server and installing your chosen configuration"It then freezes, and does nothing at this point. I have tried re-installing. I have tried deleting the registry items, and reinstalling. Nothing, still freezes. Im starting to go nuts figuring this out, so hopefully you can help.This is what its showing in errorlog.2013-02-09 02:33:50.00 server Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - 8.00.194 (Intel X86)Aug 6 2000 00:57:48Copyright (c) 1988-2000 Microsoft CorporationEnterprise Evaluation Edition on Windows NT 5.1 (Build 2600: Service Pack 3)2013-02-09 02:33:50.01 server Copyright (C) 1988-2000 Microsoft Corporation.2013-02-09 02:33:50.01 server All rights reserved.2013-02-09 02:33:50.01 server Server Process ID is 2464.2013-02-09 02:33:50.01 server Logging SQL Server messages in file 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\log\ERRORLOG'.2013-02-09 02:33:50.04 server SQL Server is starting at priority class 'normal'(4 CPUs detected).2013-02-09 02:33:50.59 server SQL Server configured for thread mode processing.2013-02-09 02:33:50.61 server Using dynamic lock allocation.
