On the cd is a folder called boot disk there?s a file called makeboot.exe run that file have several blank floppies. It sort of like the emergency boot disk from win 98 but I?d try Mr Chicken way first never did it that way but seems a lot simpler. Also win2000 will boot from cd rom and can be setup from there if your computer supports it, most computers do it?s just a bios setting.

A good copy of Win2000 CD is bootable.
