Hi Mike... I inserted the CD Windows 2000 but nothing happens, In the screen it appears.. "Error Loading Operating System", I have tried to start the Cd by doing the BIOS setup, Startup \ CD Rom, but this does not help neither.
What should l do?

have you tried installing it from windows (booting up your computer then insert the disk and install it)
dont know if that will work, ill keep looking

Oh, No, l don't want to keep My files,. How can l do the clean up?

Also, l don't have acces to anything in my computer.. Except when it starts and l have the choice to Prees f1 or f12.. Boot devices

i found this:

no, you cannot downgrad to 2k if you have xp installed. microsoft do not want you to use older technology, hence why they make it difficult to downgrade. You'l have to backup your data, and then boot from a win2k cd and start the installation of 2000. You'll be given the option to format, I usually would, its always better to give 2000 a fresh partition

do you have another hard drive in your computer? or can you get hold of another one (just to borrow)?

I have my Desktop only, But l was thinking about buying a new hard drive.. If i have it , what can l do with that?
