Q about W2k Pro install instructions

[Doug]

In Microsoft's W2k Pro install instruction page
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=304868), step 1 says:
"Start the installation by using one of the following
methods:
"Start from the Windows 2000 Professional installation CD-
ROM. Make sure that the CD-ROM is set to start before the
hard disk starts. Insert the CD-ROM, and then when you are
prompted, press any key to start the Windows 2000
Professional Setup program."

When it says "Make sure that the CD-ROM is set to start
before the hard disk starts." does this mean "Make sure to
set the BIOS to boot from the CD-ROM before the hard
disk."? Or, does anything else need to be done?

Thanks.

Doug,

Thank you for your post.

This does refer to the BIOS settings. Just ensure that the CD-ROM boots
before the hard disks in the BIOS boot order.

Best regards,
Blane Clark
