Hi
I have recently built a very basic computer using leftover parts I could scavenge. It isn't a very powerful machine so I have decided to install windows 2000 to go easy on it but I cannot install it; the hard drive is formatted and the windows 2000 disk I have is not a boot disk so I cannot install it. Is there any way to do this?
Thanks
Jack!

Not if you dont have the right disk, try looking for some Iso's? ;)

If you do not understand what Techie! said which you might not do, he means look for a virtual version of the disk.

I have tried linux before, it's good, just not enough of my favorite programs support it.
Solved: Needed to press enter whoops.

Windows 2000 is ancient... even Microsoft has dropped support for it (and they bloody should do for XP!! ¬_¬)
