Windows 2000 Server Build 2000 Stuck On "Starting Windows"

Post by Microsoft Windows Fan »

I was tried to install Windows 2000 Server Build 2000 on Virtualbox because i get interested to Windows 2000 Server Betas.

But... it stucks on this screen while trying to enter setup:

I saw in your screenshot that you are using VirtualBox 8-) .
For builds that old, use Virtual PC 2007 (SP1 perferred) instead, works perfectly.

Please use the BA image uploader for ALL images. Link is in the navigation bar, top right.

Thanks but i already know that there is an image uploader on BA. If you read my first post correctly you will see this "Im not gonna use image uploader because it always dont accepts my photos. Im not gonna try to fit my photos into right resolution, sorry"

But if using other image uploaders are forbidden, i"ll use BA image uploader then...

You'll need to try QEMU or Virtual PC 2004/2007. VirtualBox has never worked well for me and Windows 2000. It will go into a reset loop several times once it gets to GUI setup, after Setup "detects and install drivers, such as your keyboard and mouse"

Wait... QEMU? Thanks! Yes, you are right. I can try it...

EDIT: I tried it again on QEMU but it froze at the same screen, i think the iso is broken...

2rd EDIT: I tried it on VPC 2007 and IT PASSED THE SCREEN! It seem looks like this build only works on VPC...

Other image uploaders are forbidden, you must use the BA image uploader.
