Hi Welcome to CTH

Reboot and when you see the first screen hit DELETE key (or what ever key the screen tells you to use) to get into SETUP.

Once in there, change the boot sequence to CDROM first.

Now put the Windows 2000 CD in and reboot. Select Repair and follow the menu, or you can reinstall. The menu will tell you.
