I had a working dual boot setup with 98 and 2k but 2k now won't load. I tried deleting the 2000 partition and reinstalling but same problem remains. goes through normal boot up but hangs on the 2000 load up page....I even hear the startup music behind it. when I reinstall I am not prompted for the product key which means to me that I am not getting a true clean install. Any advice appreciated
