HELP! Win2k Install Disaster!!!

[Playmaker]

I am doing a clean install of win2k on my comp. I have a T-Bird 1.2gig on an Epox 8K7A mobo running the latest 1824 BIOS with 512MB PC2100 DDR RAM. I have a 40gig IBM 60GXP Deskstar formatted into 2 20gig partitions. I have them both formatted. I then copied the I386 folder on the win2k CD-ROM to C:\win2k. I then removed all CDs and floppies and typed "winnt" in while at C:\win2k. It copies the files and everything works and it asks me to restart to continue the installation. After I restarts I get an error while booting up that says BOOT TO CD, NO CD IN DRIVE, PUT CD IN DRIVE AND PUSH ANY KEY. Or something similar to that. I tried setting my BIOS to fail-safe defaults and I still get the error. I've installed off the hard drive this way before, the only difference was I had the whole Hard Drive as c:, but this time I have it partitioned half into c: and half to d:. Also I have the new mobo BIOS. Other then that everything is the same. What's going on? How can I fix this?

2 possiblities:

1) you didn't use the option to winnt.exe to tell it where the install files were, etc. do winnt /? for info

2) UDMA 100 controller, perhaps? as i recall win2k sp0 couldn't work with udma100 controllers

I am telling it the proper place for the files, and I have been able to install before on this HD. Like I said the only difference between now and then is the new mobo BIOS and that I have the 40gig HD partitioned into 2 20gigs. Other then that it's the same as before when it worked...

You didn't format the C: drive with the /s switch, so the computer can't boot to the C: drive to continue installation of the OS.
