I bought a new Toshiba laptop to use for my business. A particular software program I use does not operate under Win XP (the OS that came with the laptop).

I want to wipe the laptop's hard drive and install Win 2K but every time I initiate the Win 2K install CD a message pops up informing me that Win 2K is an older OS and Win XP is disabling it.

How do I get past this obstacle so I can format the hard drive and install Win 2K?
