Posting those passwords and keys probably wasn't very bright.

| Dear Sirs:
|
| A couple weeks ago we purchased a Win 2K Professional download (below, in
| bold are the instructions you sent with the download).  When we attempted 
to
| install it, everything went wrong.  1st, according to your instructions, 
the
| CD will be bootable.  Not only is the CD un-bootable, it is un-usable;
| because it is an ISO file (image).  Is there some way to burn the ISO 
image
| on a CD so that it is not an image file (some sort of automatic extraction
| process)?   We downloaded Nero, using the link you sent us.  After 
installing
| Nero; we cannot find a way to automatically extract the image file, and 
burn
| it to a CD.
|
| Next; we downloaded Win 2K Pro boot disk files from the web.  We then 
tried
| to install Win 2000, booting from these disks.  Although we have a Maxtor
| hard drive, formatted in FAT 32, that we can access from Win 98, and XP, 
we
| can not install Win 2K on it.  We get a stop error that says:
| Unaccessable_boot_device.  Next we tried extracting the ISO image with a
| program called Undisker.  We then tried to install  Win 2K with the boot
| disks again.  The first attempt we got an error that said:  Unable to 
locate
| EULA (end user license agreement), installation stopped.  We have tried to
| install many times sine then, but we continually get the stop error that
| says:  unaccessable_boot_device.
|
| Please help us resolve these issues.

| the purpose)
