I try to install windows 2000 on my old 133. It should work, even if it will be slow. But the machine does not recognize the install disc. It asks me for a command. I tried already "L", install, cd, mwin, setup but dos keeps asking for a command. No idea anymore which command this could be and I hope somebody here can help me (please, explain it like you would explain it to a kid. I'm far away from having much knowledge about computer).
Thank you!

The command to install Windows 2000 from DOS
is WINNT.exe and it is located in the /i386 folder.

heh I am current running win2k with 32 megs of ram in one of my systems. Its a 700mhz celeron. But performance is really crappy. I will upgrade REAL soon though to 256 megs.

Look at this it works same for W2K:

Thanks for the answers but I probably described the problem wrong.
Starting the computer, it starts normal, shows the installed hd,cd, etc. and stops at the next page. There, it should recognize that there is the install disc for win2000 but it doesn't. Instead it asks for a command in order to proceed. This is the command I am looking for. The suggestions I can find here requiere that I am already in windows and I am not.
Thanks for your patients.

well .I understand your trouble.

you must create a serie of bot disks 4...... to run the install from dos mode.you will find the way to create them on one of the cd dirs from dos mode

hope this help you

And if don't want to (or don't know or are not able to make them) W2K boot/set-up disks can be downloaded at:

http://www.bootdisk.com

Save each image to the hard-drive; then (self-)expand each to a flopy; use those floppies to boot/run W2K set-up (you will obviously also need the CD).

To make them, you run the makeboot util which is on the CD. It can be run from within an installed OS - and probably via '98 boot-disk boot (with CDROM drivers).
