Hi Jacob Yes! I am trying to install win2000, the win2000 cd is in the CD rom, but I have to boot from the floopy disks, there are in total four floopy boot disks for win2000 setup. It goes through the setup process after it loads all the relevent setup files from disk 4, i get a message saying windows is now starting windows2000. Then instead of continuing with the installation process from the win2000 CD, i get a blue screen saying inaccessable_boot_drive. I have succesfully installed win2000 many times by using the same process with my old laptop, but this is a problem that i am getting with my new laptop. Any ideas? Anyone!
