Hey,

can someone possibly zip the contents of a boot disc that can recognize and install Cd drives, they boot you to a dos prompt? I need to install 2k on this thinkpad, and no dice, the CD wont boot. Anyone know how to get into the bios on a Thinkpad? I know f10 gets into Diag mode, but no bios settings...

anyway, if someone could zip a bood disc and maybe email it to me, or tell me where to find one, you'd be my savior....

There's a utility on the Win2K CD called Bootmaker (do a file search for it on the CD) that creates the boot floppies for you if your CD won't autoboot.

F1 gets you into the BIOS of a Thinkpad.
