unfortunately, the computer I have been using while my computer is down does not have a 3.5" drive so I can't make the boot disk. However, I GOT IT WORKING!! What i did was I had I disconnected my hard drives so it would boot from the CD Rom then while Win2000 was loading I plugged my main hard drive back in. I don't exactly remember how I got there, but when I got to the DOS like mode, I did the CHKDSK and it said that I had errors. After that it seemed to boot ok....I haven't tried restarting it though.so hopefully it lasts.
