My hard drive died, so bought a new one.... No big deal , right!?! Went to install W2K and can't find CD. I have the 4 setup disks, but then it asks you to insert the CD (which I don't have). I called IBM and they don't issue recovery CDs for W2K as of the first of the year. Does anyone have a recovery CD? Or other Ideas? (I'm not ready to give in to XP).

"can't find CD"
You've just learned a valuable life's lesson. System CD's, indeed software CD's of ANY type are very valuable. Sometimes software is "worth" far more than the original cost, simply because it cannot be easily replaced.
