i really didn't know which forum to put this in but eventually decided on here.
I'm self building a new computer for the first time and need to know something.
I need a system disk to boot it up and be able to install Windows 2k right?
and if so how do i make this system disk with millenium?
will a system disk made in millenium work for windows 2k?

Phatalbert: When you are ready to install windows just set your bios to boot up cd rom first. Format your hardrive. I would split the drive so you will be able to run a ghost.your disk should install without a boot disk. Hope you succeed with your project.

Phat,
No, a system disk from ME will be no good to you in trying to install 2K. You can make one from that box though. Go to "www.bootdisk.com" and you'll find files that will create whatever version of a bootup disk you want.
ciao, wired

If you have a decent size hard drive & it's partitioned, I'd keep ME on one partition & install 2000 on another...creating a dual boot system.
