While I was installing windows 2000 on my laptop, installation froze. I let it set for hours and then finally turned it off and rebooted. Now it still hangs and I don't have a boot disk. Any suggestions?

Jump to PostIn what exact part of the installation did it freeze?
Can you verify that the install CD isn't damaged?
When you say a "clean install", does that mean you reformatted the drive?
Jump to PostIf it's always stalling in the same place, it could be a bad spot on the disk, but it could also be having trouble with a certain device in your system.
What are specs for the hardware in the machine (vid card, network card, etc.)?
