You can use a boot disk from here

to launch Windows 2000.

Sorry for the short answer, I needed some sleep.
Its option d) when I've tested that simple one as hasnt worked so far,
Bootdisk seem to have at least 4 but stopped downloading at 3½. I have
several other CPs working with W2000 and XP dual boot.

You need to be a little more precise. I can think of at least
four completely different boot diskettes:
a) A Linux-style boot diskette, to give you access to the hard
disk without using any Win2000 files.
b) A Win98 boot diskette, to give you access to a hard disk
without using any Win2000 files.
c) A set of Win2000 Recovery Console diskettes, to get you
into the Win2000 Recovery Console. Much easier to use
your Win2000 CD for this.
d) A Win2000 startup diskette, to launch Win2000.

This is why I asked you what your aim was.

I need a working starting disk and used the simplest one, as have not
worked
so far. How can a simple one on one disk work when others need 4, its
smarter?

W2's rescue disks started installing, is that as my W2k CD?

http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/ntboot/ have one for starting, while
these
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and backup use at least 4, what
differ?

What is your aim?
