I know you can do em in 98 but I only have Windows 2000 installed on all my pcs atm.

Thanks for your help.
 
I don't think there is any such thing since a boot disk as you are thinking of it would boot to dos and dos won't recognize ntfs which they expect you will be using in win 2k. Everyone just uses a boot disk from win98 if they are not using ntfs.

You could however try ntfs for dos to create a boot disk but it is not cheap and I haven't tried it to see what the limitations are.
 
Taken from http://www.computerhope.com/boot.htm:

CREATING A WINDOWS 2000 DISK

To create a Windows 2000 Professional bootable diskette you will need four 1.44MB diskettes and the Windows 2000 Professional CD.

Click Start / Run / browse to the CD-ROM drive.
Open the Boot disk folder and double-click makeboot.exe and click ok to launch the program to create the diskette.

Hope this helps.
