Socket 7 Windows 2000 doesn't install. Freezes on bootup #181

On Socket 7 I did the setup of this post here minus the network card: :https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=3763 [Re: Windows 2000 in PCem](https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?

Working very well for me, sound is clear and absolutely no LAG. My config for win 2000 in PCEM: resolution 1024 x 768 16 bit MB [Super7] FIC VA-503+ Mobile Pentium MMX 300 RAM 512 MB S3 Virge/DX Fast VLB/PCI No Voodoo Graphics SB 16 Novell NE 2000 0x300-31F IRQ 10

And the result is I can get to where it asks me to remove any floppies which I boot from the CD and then it hangs at Atapi CD Rom when rebooting. It never gets past it.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

Expected behavior Windows 2000 to finish installing which it does on Pentium II but it's too laggy to be of any use on my I7.

Okay: Out of desperation I found this tutorial and I think I fixed the problem at least temporarily. https://youtu.be/mfipTBFDhiw?t=571 He does a thing where you press C at this point in the video. I just pressed enter which obviously resulted in the thing hanging when rebotting after formatting.

Do you know why pressing C seemed to fixed it? I couldn't ever get it to go past https://youtu.be/mfipTBFDhiw?t=831 this point as it would hang at Atapi CD Rom for ever only on Socket 7. Gigabyte Pentium II doesn't have this problem where I had to press C.

You need to use the forums for such things, not GitHub since it's purpose is to report and diagnose PCem bugs. This is not a PCem bug (it works perfectly on my end, meaning there has to be something wrong with your setup) so please close this issue.
