When I put in my Win2K setup disk a thing pops up saying the setup feature will be disabled because my currect version of Windows (XP) is newer than 2K; everything else works fine. So then I try to boot from the CD drive and when it says "press any key to boot from cd drive..." I press a random key and it freezes...

Help?:(

dunno what's happening, but if you don't care about what's on the drive, maybe try booting w/ a win9x floppy (bootdisk.com). Fdisk the drive to destroy the existing partitions, then try reinstalling w2k via cd.
