hardware detection infinite loop

[melaniemarie]

I had windows 2000 on my pc. I also had norton. I had to replace the motherboard. After that I tried to reload the same os: windows 2000. During the installation, the os goes to hardware detetcion and seems to get stuck as though it's in an infinite loop.
Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem. I am stuck.
thanks, melanie

Please clarify. Are you actually re-installing Windows 2000 or is it the same installation and it's hanging up since replacing the motherboard?
