problem installing windows 2000 professional

Guest

Hello,
I am currently running windows me and I have been trying to install
windows 2000 professional (with service pack 2). However when I run the setup
it goes through the process seemingly successfully including converting the
disk to NFTS, but when it tries to re-boot the computer just hangs saying
press any key to boot from cd-rom.

Any ideas what is going on, could my bios be out of date.
Regards
Robert

For starters, you must do a clean install of W2k; ME canNOT be upgraded
to W2k.

When you boot (from the W2k CD directly, or using the 4 W2k setup
diskettes), the install process will take you through partition
formatting etc for the clean install.
