I have an old 2000 system I'm trying to rebuild. It had two
partitions. My plan was to simply run the 2000 setup and delete both
partitions and create 1 larger one.
The problem is I CANNOT boot to either the floppy or the CD. I've
tried:
"Boot It" floppy (my normal disk utility of choice)
MS-DOS floppy
Win98SE floppy
WIN2000 CD
Compaq System Restore CD
Nothing will boot except the HD! The Floppy and CD are listed as #1 &
#2 in the boot order. I have verified that both devices work in the
existing 2000 installation.
I tried running the 2000 setup program from windows, but when you do
that you can't delete the 1st partition during setup.
Normally on these PC's I get a quick message saying press any key to
boot from CD, not getting that message on this one. BIOS seems to
work just fine (saving settings, etc...).
What else can I try? We've got about 20 of these exact PC's around
and I've never run into this before.
PC is a Compaq Deskpro EN Series PII 450.
