can't boot windows 2000 from disk

Comment:

I'm trying to do a clean install of Windows 2000, but I can't boot from disk. At start up it had said "to boot from CD press" whatever button. Now I never see that option. How can I reinstall?

go into your bios on boot up, set it to boot to the cd-rom 2st.

Perhaps use the 4 W2K setup floppies to start/run the installation?
