Installing Windows 2000

[Schola]

Thanks for all your guy's help in being able to read cds now from the dos prompt off a boot disk, but another problem has arisen. I can read from the cd, but when I try to run the setup.exe it says that this program can not run in msdos. ARGHH I am going to go crazy, any suggestions.
Thanks
Schola

If you are upgrading from NT 4.0, or W98 run Winnt32.exe


If you are upgrading from within NT 4.0 run i386\winnt32.exe


For a clean setup in Dos use i386\winnt.exe

smart drive is a temp drive used by the setup program to temporarly store diagnostic tools if you need to trouble shoot before installing.

The install program will still install the Operating system
