      Windows 2000 - ACPI freeze with updated ACPI driver + AHCI freeze bluefreeze with Windows 2000 Data center edition + NT DirectX update
       
       Hello,
      im trying to install Windows 2000 on Dell Ivy bridge machine, i used this guide with update ACPI drivers, but its still freezing at the Windows 2000 setup loading (before you select target partition) without F5/F7 pressing and selection Standard PC machine to ignore ACPI.. Maybe Ivy bridge and Hasswell have something different or its Dell machine issue, i have found multiple similar threads on MSFN and Winraid.
        There also seems to be some boot bluescreen error *0007B related to Data Center (make sense to use because more CPU cores support and more max memory) version of Windows 2000 Data center.. When i do AHCI drivers integration the same way for Advanced Server edition it works fine, but for Data Center its not working for some reason. Data Center seems specific version:
       
      I had Data Center (i had better PAE mode) specific problems with NT4 version too, there seems to be Service packs available for it, they are not available through Windows update restored and they seems to be vendor specific, but im unable to find these vendor specific version or identify which one i actually i have to install.
         Of course there is workaround install SP6 integrated version right away. There are tools to convert NT / 2000 from Workstation to Server to bypass these errors, but not for Advanced Servers or Data Centers..
      UnreIated also wonder if you can help as to revive Windows NT4 for gaming, im tried to create Windows NT up to date guide on Vogons:
      https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=103915

        Biggest problem of NT4 is missing newer than DirectX 3, there are now people able to port DirectX 8, maybe even 9 to NT4, lots of work was already done, details in link above.. But there is problem that Windows NT, lack some Windows 98 kernel functions and you are probably best person which could help us with this to extend Windows NT4 kernel or find some workarounds.. Maybe similar maybe even for Windows 2000 functions.. 
        I mean some things are too complex, but there would be some easy fixes.
