No, you'll need the floppies if you can't boot the CD-Rom. To do a clean
install, either boot the Windows 2000 install CD-Rom or setup disks. The set
of four install disks can be created from your Windows 2000 CD-Rom; change
to the \bootdisk directory on the CD-Rom and execute makeboot.exe (from dos)
or makebt32.exe (from 32 bit) and follow the prompts.
When you get to the point, delete the existing NTFS and or other partitions
found. After you delete the partition(s) abort the install, then again
restart the pc booting the CD-Rom or setup disks to avoid unexpected drive
letter assignments with your new install.

| My somewhat old bios does not recognize my cd-rom drive when booting

| Is there is simple way to create a floppy disc with a scsi cd-rom driver,
so that I can boot directly from a windows cd rather than the 6 setup discs?
