All Win2k CDs are bootable you just need to change your BIOS boot order. If that doesn't work (which is common) there is a directory on the 2k CD called Make Boot (or some variation of) that will create a set of bootable floppy disks (requires 4 floppy disks).

Apart from setting the boot order to CDROM first in bios you also need to set the cd drive to AUTO in standard cmos setup.
Then you can boot from the Win2K CD. I have yet to see a PC capable of running Win2K that can not boot from CD. RJ

He doesn't want the four floppies and he can boot from CD.
OK, well, as said, the Win2K CD is bootable. To make another CD that acts the same I'd say the easiest way is to copy the Win2K CD. RJ |

to copy the win2K setup cd, you have to use an application like cloneCD.
Please note, We don't support warez in any way. Only make a copy of the Win2K setup CD for backup reasons. |
