Ok,lets use the work around.
Boot into win2k once you have win2k up and running pop in the win2k cd ..
You should see the main setup window for win2k now select the item called Browse
This CD.
Now click on the BootDisk Folder
Get 4ea. 3 1/2 out (new Ones ) now click on the item called makeboot, at this point
it will make a boot disk set for you....when it's done making the set (besure to
mark them 1,2,,3,4, ) put the number one disk in the drive.
Now exit from the win2k cd. (but don't take out the win2kcd you will need it at
reboot)
Now reboot the machine.
When the machine reboots the setup menu will load.
(you will need to use all 4 disks to get it up)
When you see the setup menu select SETUP (enter key)
Windows will ask you if you want to try and repair the OS you have...select YES...(R)
READ the botttom of the screen if you don't want to run the repair...
At this point you can have win2k remove the OS you now have and start over or just
run the repair item.
and hope for this best.
Good Luck
