I have an old Gateway P133 that I put Mandrake 7.2 on just for fun. Soon after, I decided I wanted to put Win2K on. My computer won't boot off the Win2K CD (it will boot off a Win98 CD), but I'm not sure if that's Linux's fault or not. What I'm positive is Linux's fault is that everytime I boot my computer, I get a message along with what drives it detects saying

PXE-M04 Hooking bootstrap interrupt 18h

How do I make it stop saying this? I've tried swapping hard drives, completely unhooking the hard drive, flashing the BIOS, even taking the battery out to let the CMOS clear its settings. I'm at a loss here.

Of course it's linux! I mean if the computer won't boot with a Win2k CD, what else could it be?

Hello, I said I wasn't sure if Linux had anything to do with the Win2K boot CD problem.

My main question, to reiterate, is how do I make that bootstrap message go away?

Try a different interrupt. It doesnt appear to be a warning. You can remove the Intel ethernet card if you want.
