Hi ,
Do you know an easy way to rebuild a 2000 workstation
without access to the CD ROM, therfore can not access
2000 CD. I have booted with Boot Floppy, selected
recovery console, not sure what command to use?

Thanks - JB
 
Command for what? What are you wanting to do? You won't be able to perform
any repairs without access to the CD-Rom

Hi, I dont believe you can setup W2000 from Dos mode so
Click to expand...
you have to load win 98/95/ or WinXP first, then you'll be
able to run your win 2000 CD and setup...or then restart
with W2k CD in the CD-Rom drive.

There is no way to install Windows from the Recovery Console. My suggestion
would be to attach a CD Rom drive, even if it is temporary.
