What mobo & BIOS? What type of drive i/f - SCSI, IDE, UDMA, ATA/66?
Make sure you've got the latest BIOS for the mobo. Also make sure you're not installing on an ATA/66.
Then, use the text-mode setup bit to do the re-partition and reformat of the drive.
Even better, check www.win2k.et and read their FAQ on how to make a bootable NT CD.
