Sir Humprey Appleby couldn't have put it clearer (for those familiar with
the UK TV Comedy Yes (Prime) Minister).

When time permits, it would be worth performing a clean (non-upgrade)
install of Win 2K on the machine. Upgrade installations can often cause
problems that a partition deletion/recreation/format and reinstall from
scratch will rectify. If the Win 2K media is an upgrade CD, this can still
be used on an install from scratch - the installation will ask for the
installation media for the previous OS during the install to check validity
for an upgrade but this way none of the old OS is actually installed.
