Re: installing windows 2000 advanced server

Hi,

After i read your post, "Dave", the situation remains.

I can't boot by cdrom (the setup gives a blue screen inacessible boot device
- like i said before); the set 4 floppy boot starts good but when i press
enter in the first screen the setup output is
"You don't have a drive cdrom, press F3 to exit"
The problem is i already have one time installation succefully with this
scsi cdrom.

I boot to windows 2000 installed and delete all partitions except c:.

Can you help me
