Can't get to Bios

[Brynk]

I'm trying to install W2000Pro
On a Microquest Notebook
I ran Format C:/u/c/s

I booted off a W98 Floppy
went to the CD drive
typed setup.exe

I get:
This Program can't be run in DOS mode

I believe my W2000 is bootable, but F8 and F10 doesn't get me to the bios to
change sequence

What am I missing?

Thanks
Barry

to get into the bios
you need to consult your mobo manual...
however you may want to try <del> or F1

btw: you can install win2k from a win9x floppy
but you will need to load smartdrv
then from your i386 folder run: winnt (instead of setup)

I don't have a manual and the manufacturer doesn't seem to have a website
Del and F1 didn't work
Any other choices?

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual or the
motherboard manufacturer's web site doesn't contain the needed
information, try one or more of the following:
