Hi All,

Thanks very much to those who have posted replies
previously regarding this subject. Its very much
appreciated.

I have managed to make progress using the replies, but I
am now stuck at one point and would appreciate your help
once again.

1. I created the four floppy disks boot disks by
executing MAKEBT32 file in the folder SERVER\BOOTDISK\

2. The computer was booted from the four floppy disks
created in no. 1 above. This worked properly.

3. At the end of the 4th floppy disk from no. 2 above it
asks for the Windows 2000 CD to be put into the CD
drive.

Error: when I do no. 3 above it tried to read the CD but
nothing then happens to install Windows 2000 and there is
no error message.

If you could assist with this I would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

DRTP
 
Why not just boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom?
