Shay, Set your BIOS to boot from the CD. Insert the Win2000 Installation CD. Follow the prompts and reinstall.

Also - are you sure that this Pressario is W2K copmpliant? (not all Compaqs are...). Presuming yes, then go with Jennifer's advice... If no CD boot allowed then make (on another system) the 4 W2K setup floppies and install that way? If no 'hot-swap' allowed (between floppy-drive/CDROM) during setup - post back?
