Hello,

I did a new install from cd of windows 2000. I have checked all the boot
files(ie. boot.ini,etc.) and they are all there and correct. This is the
part where I need help. The computer will come up with "DISK BOOT FAILURE"
unless I have the windows 2000 cd in the drive. Now, I dont boot from the
cd, and if i let the boot from cd notice timeout, it will boot the hdd
partition. Please help.

Jesse
