Windows 2000 Can't install w2000

I'm trying to load a fresh W2000 on an xp machine that got full of viruses
and malware and can't clean up enuf
When I boot and run setup off the W2000 cd I get errors

If I select format NTFS or format FAT, I am told the disk may be damaged
I've run disk check and found no problems
I get the same error when I try to load it on an other hard drive on the
same machine

If I select Leave the current file system intact, I error out (Setup cannot
copy the file:) almost immediately during file copying at autoconv.exe

What am I doing wrong?
Would it help if I format c: from a startup floppy w/ system files? Where
do I find the files for such a floppy??

Thanks,
Barry

It could possibly be a RAM problem
I'd run a RAM test
