I have a pc with win XP installed and I want to install
win 2k too. But when I put win 2k CD in it says the pc has
a newer version and hence setup can't be performed. I
tried to use 4 install disks but it stuck at running
setup.ini ... Please help!

Thank you very much

Boot from the Win 2k CD and start setup. It will then allow you to delete,
recreate, and format partitions.

To do a clean install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup
disks. The set of four install disks can be created from your Win2k CD-rom;
change to the \bootdisk directory on the cd-rom and execute makeboot.exe
(from dos) or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) follow the prompts and install to
the unallocated drive space.

After the install boot the XP CD-Rom and run;
fixboot
to repair the boot sector.
