Hi,
this just in case that you still can't access / configure your hard drive ..
If you look at the label of the hardrive then you will see that the actual number of Cylinder is 16'383 by 16 heads and 63 sectors..

All hard drives of more than 8.4 GB neverthless the Manufacturer using the XBios Int13H to access the drive beyond the 8.4gb disk barrier..

This is easy said a "Overlay on the Hard drive Controller Bios" itself not the Bios of the MOBO

Now, when you try to setup Win2k it will place the first section of it's setup on a RAM DRIVE - and not on the hard drive itself until you are asked where and on what drive or partition you like to setup Windows..if your CDROM can't complete this then it may be that it is in conflict with the hard drive itself -
A easy workaround will be to boot of a Win98 Bootable floppy with FDISK and also Format on the disk and then fdisk and format the drive to FAT32 first - make as many partitions you like or just keep it at one - then booting of the Win2k cdrom will will assure that the CDrom doesn't jump on to the C:\drive... this is a small bug on some systems..

Also be sure the the limitation jumper on the Drive is removed (I think GLC posted this already ) but just to make sure that you rechceck this one more time..

I hope this will help to get it working..
