    Hi, I'm sorry for being such a worrier but I'm about to go from Win98se to Win2000 Pro. I think I'm pretty much set. My Win2000 CD is NOT bootable. So I have my 4 floppys with setup boot disks, My 3 service packs are on CD. So my only question is the sequence of the BIOS boot. I have been told that it should be A-HD-CD. I went into Setup Utility but couldn't get to the "BOOT" tab. I'm not sure of myself enough to fool around with the BIOS if I need to change sequence. I have a HP 8575c Pavilion. I guess I just put in the #1 floppy, restart, and hope my sequence is okay for the Clean Install of Win2000 and the booting of my PC.
    Any help would be GREAT,,
    Thanks~~Paul :cool:

    As long as it boots to A before HD, then you should have no issues loading Win2k. If the BIOS has not been modified, the sequence should be good for you to do what you need to.
