This sounds like an incompatibility between Win2k and some piece of hardware. Though it may not be an option for you, open up the case and either remove or disable any hardware that isn't necessary. Should this allow you to get Win2k installed, add each peripheral one by one, installing updated drivers as you go. Since I'm not familiar with your motherboard, I can't say for certain, but does it include any special drive controllers or the like (like a RAID array or somesuch)? If so, get the necessary drivers for it before doing an install of Win2k and copy them to a floppy. With the floppy in the drive, start the Win2k install and when it prompts you, press F6 and select the proper driver.

If you're not concerned about maintaining compatibility between earlier versions of Windows and 2000, choose NTFS. NTFS is journaled to a certain degree, so losing power in the middle of writing a file doesn't tend to cause corruption plus you don't have to wait for Scandisk to run after a crash or power loss. In addition, NTFS supports sparse file support, so files that are large in size yet contain large areas of blank space (often the case with binary log files and database records) actually store only the used portions of the file, which saves on space. NTFS also allows for dynamic movement of your files and applications, so when you move an app to a different volume or area on disk Windows won't have to go out and search for it. Though provided by add in file system drivers, NTFS also supports OS level file encryption and compression. 2000's file system also allows for files that are larger than 4GB in size.
FAT32, on the other hand, has none of the above features, is limited to files of 4 gigs in size (under most circumstances), but is compatible with updated versions of Win95, Win98, Linux, and BeOS. Some will also claim that FAT32 is faster than NTFS and while that may be the case on some systems, on mine there's very little difference.
