if the setup doesn't start right away when you boot up, then you must be using a cracked copy of 2k. that was my problem at first, then i got a diff. cracked copy which was burned correctly, so the setup would start. but if you want to make startup disks (win 2k has 4) put a disk in the a drive, right click on a drive icon in my computer and choose format disk. there (should be) an option saying make startup disk. i could be wrong cuz i have not done in a while, but yea i'm on 2k, forget that xp shit. one other thing you may want to try, look on the cd it's self right click on cd drive choose explore cd from my computer there may be a folder that says "bootdisk" or close to it, it's a dos app. that makes them for you. fuckin computers man....they a bitch...they make women look like the easiest thing in the world to understand.
