Installing 2000 = Invalid Boot Disk
So I am apart of a local Interact Club and we are doing a project for tijuana. We are bringing down 10 computers networked together to go to a local computer room for commmon use. We have been given 10 computers and we are in the process of installing 2000 on them. Some computers it works fine, but on a couple of them it gives us teh error of invalid boot disk. I tried restarting with and without the disk, but the problem is the same. Any ideas? We are in a time crunch so quick help would be nice...

Have they all been set in the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM drive?

Nope, i wasnt aware that they needed to be. I thought that it would go through the drives in w/e order it was told until it found something.

Then that should be the first thing you do. Set it to boot from CD-ROM and see what happens.

If the hard drive is before the CD in the boot order, it's gonna stop right there.
