Howdy:

Are you trying to reinstall Win2000 or a different OS??

If win2000, just boot using the Win2000 cd.. as long as it is an original cd and key code, it should self-boot..

Start>Run type in "command.com" without the quotes.. BUT, you won't be able to format the drive while running in Windows so that probably won't work..

Suggest you get your Win2K cd asap..
