hello there

well, the legal way around it to buy a license.


so to the win 2000 install

You gone install that one, forget about win 98 and win ME.


Do you have a win 2000 install cd?

all you have to do then is to put the cd in the cd driver and hit any key on your key board.
then its going to start up.


then its gone ask some questions.

install windows
repair/fix windows
reinstall windows

ect ect

you are gone chose install windows

then its coming up a license agreement, hit F8

just have to think here for a sec...

you gone stand

delete all partisons
make new partison or some thing like that..


you are gone chose the one that says delete all existing partisons

then its gone ask if you are sure

dont remember this one

its gone hit some letter... S or R or B or D something then enter.
just chose that letter that says delete everything!

then you have to make 1 partison
hit the letter P then just "enter"


then its going to ask you hoe you want to delete/format the Partison/HDD

you are gone chose the one that says NTFS(fast or something)

then its just basic hitting next when it starts, remember to update!

usually the cd should boot automatic on win 2000

but if it dont you have to do this

when you turn on you computer

you have to go in to BIOS

hitting (depends on your mother board)
F2,F8,F10,F12 or delete button

then when you are there, you have to use the arrows to fin where it stands boot

then you have too find boot order or something similar.
then chose the cd rom over the hdd
