There is not a lot of information here but my first instinct would be to check the win2k install media. Either the disk is scratched or the iso is corrupt.
To verify that your virtualbox environment is sane try doing an install of XP. My second instinct is that win2k is choking on one of the virtualized hardware devices. I know that XP works fine as a guest in VB so if XP installs fine then there is something that win2k just doesn't like. > The host machine is running a fresh copy of XP with all updates and has a > dual core cpu and 4g of ram. > Haven't tried using linux as the host OS yet tho that was where I was > wanting to end up at the end of this project > There may be issues with your XP host and permissions. I had a client that had problems a while back until he had local admin privs on the host (XP) OS. These days I only have Windows as guests (either in VMWare or VB). > Also... have googled and looked for info... nothing I found helped Hth,
