re: 2000 reformat problem Monday, May 16, 2005 at 12:36 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by RevRat (15 messages posted) Some motherboards will not boot the CD if it's not detected at bootup. Make sure the CDROM is set to AUTO in the BIOS setup not NONE. It's best to have the CDROM as IDE-1 MASTER (HD-C: is IDE-0 MASTER), check the jumpers.
