I used the Win98 start-up disk to f-disk my computer (I erased all my partitions then I made a new primary partition). then i used the (format c:) comand to format the drive. after I finished formating the drive I made my MultiBay my first boot option thinking it would now let the computer read my c.d's. then i restarted my computer again and i got a messege saying (Invalid system disk) but i had a Windows 2000 disk in the cd-rom. So then I went back into the win98 start-up disk and i typed in (d:) to change it to d:. Then I typed in the command (run) and i got a messege saying (cdr101: Not ready reading drive E). Plz help me so that i can load windows 2k back onto my computer.

When you boot using a windows 98 boot disk, it changes the CDROM to E: but that's not your problem. Your problem is that you need to change the boot sequence in the BIOS. The it will boot from the 2000 CD. Put the CDROM first in the sequence.
