Hi all, I just installed win 2K professional but now I can't boot. I first get an error message saying it cannot find windows 2K setup file, then when I reboot again it says "Boot from CDROM, Insert a bootdisk..."
How can I solve this problem?
 
Did the 2k install finish correctly? Did you have any problems during the install?
Was this a clean install or an upgrade?
Is your machine set to boot from CD as first boot device?
 
Are you dual booting? 2k has to go on first before XP.

It wasn't a clean install. It was upgraded from windows ME but never had any problems during installation.
 
'It was upgraded from windows ME'

There is no official upgrade from ME to 2k - ME was released AFTER 2k. I've heard some people have done this - but it may well be (at least partly) cause of your problem.

Some more details would be helpful.
