Default Bootable CD

Can anyone tell me how to create a bootable CD to enable me to restore Win2K onto my laptop. I haven't got an external Floppy Drive therefore I cannot use the 4 FDD disks. I have a genuine OEM copy of WIN2K but it doesn't boot.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Paul, whereabouts are you? Maybe there is a local MG 'er who can help. Can you easily get at your hard drive on your laptop? If so, with a special cable you can install it as a slave on a desktop PC. Try www.bootdisk.com or google for "boot disk" and "Win2000" and/or "Win2K" for additional hints/help/links. Bazza

Have you changed the boot order in your BIOS?
