>Why do you want to boot to the drive? If you are going to install an OS on it, can't you just boot to that CD?

Good question. For some reason when I try to boot to the OS CD it does not work. So I created a bootable floppies using instructions on the Win2000 PRO CD. Then I can boot with those 4 floppy diskettes. Then I can start the installation of the OS. But at some point of the installation the SETUP wants to reboot the PC. After it reboots the PC it gives me error that no "Active Partition is Found, use FDISK". This is how I got to where I am now.

Thank you.
