Windows 2000 SP4 installation went smoothly until it hanged on "Setup is starting Windows 2000". I made sure to change the BIOS to ATA mode before the installation (That was the only other option). So I started installing Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4 over the old 2K SP4 Professional installation. I also had a partition of XP on the 2K drive and was able to install almost all drivers except USB 3.0 (XP has limited support anyway) and an SM Bus controller. ![]() Now, this presents a problem as XP support is limited on systems newer than Ivy-bridge and 2000 is non-existent. Intel Q87 chipset ~Limited XP embedded support So I moved the hardrive with the W2K to the new machine: Well, that system is starting to show its age (especially the iGPU) and is having trouble with newer running software. It seems like only a little while ago I was asking for help to get audio drivers on an old AMD system.
