Problems when installing W2K on my old PC

Whenever I try to install Windows 2000 Professional on my old PC, I get a 0x7B BSOD when the installer boots. This happens on both of my hard drives. I have tried every single config possible and nothing works. I believe it *may* be the onboard IDE controller.

    Do you have another old PC you could try with? Or you could try another disc with a re-download. One last thing, you could install W2K using another system (provided you have one) and try to boot this system with that HDD.

    I wonder what your old PC does mean. Old PC just like Pentium 1/2/3/4 series? Or Virutual PC.

    Virtual PC is Not Hardware but Software that emulates (simulates) another PC.

    Also which SP (Service Pack) version you manage to install Windows 2000 professional.

    The virtual PC bit is part of OP's signature.

    How about researching what drive controller you have, obtaining drivers for it, and slipstreaming them into a disc iso?

    I don't have any other old PCs that I could try to install to them. I have made at least 2-3 disks with the W2K setup, redownloading the iso each time. My only other system is a Latitude d520 running W7, and the hdd is really small to create another partition.

    Its a 2000-era pc with 1GB of RAM, an Intel Celeron at 1.2GHz and an 80gig drive.
    I was trying to install W2K Professional SP4.
