Install windows 2k on semi-modern hardware successfully

[ArseniyB]

Hello,

I am trying to install Windows 2000 successfully and so far have used HSFLIP and BlackwingCat’s SATA drivers, but to no avail. I have a i5-2430M CPU with 16GB RAM and a ICH8M-E/ICH9M-E SATA RAID driver, and am installing it through a USB. Can anyone give me full steps on making it work?

I mean, that's pretty much non-specific... what is exactly the issue you are having? Does the usb not boot? Does the setup freezes? Can't you detect the hard drives? There are many things that can go wrong when trying to install Windows 2000 (or any old OS) on more modern systems...
