Installation of windows 2000

INSTALLATION OF WINDOWS 2000

First make sure that CD/DVD appliance is set as First Boot Device.

You need do this in BIOS setup. You can read it in your motherboard's manual for more information on how to do it. Usually to get to BIOS while system is starting you need to push one of the following buttons: "Del" (Delete), "F1", "F2", "F8" or "F10". (My PC follows "Del" key)

After you done it save changes with [Save & Exit]

With newest models pressing "F10" you can choose the appliance which will be the first booting device.

There are two types of BIOS version I mostly encountered. Below are the separate images for both of the versions:

a. BIOS version

b. BIOS version
