Hi Mauriat, > I would have expected you installed from your own Windows2000 media. > Those bootdisks as I understand are for users who do not have support > for bootable CD-ROMs (?). I digged this W2K media from storeroom which has not been used for at least 5~6 years. It failed to boot but the files inside can still be read. Therefore I need the boot floppy to boot up the PC, change to CDRom drive and execute "Setup.exe" there. B.R. SL
