Windows Server 2000 Domain Detection Issue

At some point of installation of Server 2000 (or Advanced), the setup asks you if you wish to join the server to an existing domain, run as a PDC itself, or run as standalone server.

For some weird reason, the setup acts as if it tries to join you to a domain anyway. It then puts you into a loop you cannot get out of.

I worked around this by reinstalling the O/S with the NETWORK CABLE REMOVED, when the setup has passed domain setup phase, you can then REATTACH THE NETWORK CABLE.
