On the windows 2000 CDROM, there is a subfolder called \bootdisk. Go into that folder and run the bootdisk.exe inside. This will create the boot disks for you.

Does your BIOS allow you boot from the CD-ROM? If so, set it to boot to the CD before C: and stick the 2000 CD in and boot from it. No boot disk necessary. If you can't do that, a 98 boot disk will do the trick.
