I formatted my hardrive and am installing W2000 Professional. I'm at the screen that says: 'Performing Final Tasks'. The blue bar is stuck about 80% of the way across 'Registers Components'. It's been sitting there for about 3 hours and not going anywhere. What can I do at this point?
 
I hit 'reset' and the pc rebooted and started to install W2000 again. It blue screened with:

'Stop 0x000000DE' A driver corrupted pool memory used for holding pages destined for disk.

I hit reset again and it blue screened again with:

Stop 0X000000C5 A device driver has corrupted the executive memory pool

All that is on the pc is what was installed from my W2000 install disk. Any ideas as to what's going on here?
 
Memtest86 found a bad RAM stick. I'm continuing with the installation. Hopefully that's all that was wrong.
