I have a copy of Win2k Pro and I believed I burnt it successfully onto to cd (I believe I followed the instructions in the procedure to burn Win2k Pro correctly). Anyways, when put in the win2k cd and boot up my computer, the computer it won't boot from the cd. the cd is a CD-RW. Maybe that is the reason why it won't boot? But then again my cdrom does read CD-RW and CD-R and just normal cds. I looked in my CMOS setup to configure the boot sequence. It's configuration is at CDROM, C, A . I have a cd-rom and a burner on my computer. Maybe it doesn't know which cd drive to boot off from?? Can someone help me out here?
