If you are instslling window 2000 on a new hard drive and your system cannot boot from a CD how do you begin the installation?
First check if you could alter the boot sequence in your bios. Power up your computer, after the memory test, take note of the line normally at the bottom screen similar to "Press Del to enter setup" and do it (others are Function keys like [F1]). At BIOS screen locate where the boot sequence is and set your CD ROM to boot first before your hard drive(HD) and floppy disk(FD). Save and exit, restart and install. Older BIOS do not have this feature so your stuck with a FD, you could: 1. The easy way, download a Win2000 installation boot disk image, create the boot disk, boot up (if it boot form HD instead, set up BIOS to boot from FD first as describe above) and install. 2. The hard way, create a boot disk from a computer with Win2000 installed. Go to [Start][Programs][System Tools][Backup] and create an Emergency Repair Disk(ERD). In your PC, boot up from ERD, select Command prompt only from boot menu, navigate to your Win2000 CD, open the directory i386 and run WINNT.EXE.
