Installing Windows Problems
Im currently using windows Vista and am trying to install windows 2000 pro on a new partition. I have put windows 2000 on a disc and then i changed my boot order to disc drive first then when i restarted my PC it started loading setup for it wen it started loading all the drivers for the windows 2000 setup it changed to a blue screen with a message sayin "The ACPI BIOS in this system is not fully complient with the ACPI specification, Please contact your vendor for a new BIOS update or go to www.hardware-update.com." i tried going onto that site but it didnt work so can anyone else suggest what i should do please. Thanks

try this....RESOLUTION
Manually install the Standard PC hardware abstraction layer (HAL):
1. Reboot the computer to restart Setup.
2. When Setup starts again, press F7 when you see the "Press F6 if you need to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver" screen.
Windows automatically disables the installation of the ACPI HAL and installs the Standard PC HAL.
