You can boot up from the CD. It's much easier.

I agree as long as your mobo supports it

Go to bootdisk.com for all boot disks.

Or you can try this from the Win2k help:

To create setup disks
1.) Insert a blank, formatted, 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB disk into the floppy disk drive.
2.) Insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
3.) Click Start, and then click Run.
4.) In the Open box, type d:\bootdisk\makeboot a: (where d: is the drive letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive), and then click OK
5.) Follow the screen prompts.

Important
You will need four blank, formatted, 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB floppy disks. Label them Setup Disk One, Setup Disk Two, Setup Disk Three, and Setup Disk Four.

Note
You can create the setup disks from a computer running any version of Windows or MS-DOS.

WinXP doesnt have a bootdisk program on CD, you have to download it form MS and then execute it, and have 6 disks ready for making the PRO version boot disks, or if you have XP home download the separate bootdisk maker and use 4 disks.
