Make sure it does not boot from CD over and over again. 😉
Its not booting from cd. Its Windows based setup not Dos.
I read rhat silimar problem occurs on virtual machines. Makeing delay of something helps but in my case idk what i have to delay since i have Real PC.

Yeah that can bite you sometimes, was it xp that came with the press any key to boot from cd ?
cant really remember. whatever he's installing from, he needs to disconnect it after the first reboot iirc.
There is a command line setup process. Is the installation media a burnt cd or the original pressed cd? Try copying it to a folder on the hard drive and install from there.https://www.itprotoday.com/windows-server/com … xe-windows-2000

Apparently 32-bit is dead and nobody likes P4s.
Of course, as always, I'm open to correction...😉
All files have been copied to HDD and installatuon runs from HDD now. When i take out cd it start from HDD. But im constantly getting into setup when you have to put PC name date etc after. When i finish that PC restarts and everytging repeats.
Sounds like a flat cmos battery. Possible your hdd is a bit large for your mobo as well.

When it restarts does the Windows boot menu come up, and if so what options are displayed? Or maybe you need to mess with BOOT.INI
Problem solved, i reinstalled the system from another cd.
