There is no bios update available for this machine.

Well this isn't working properly, so was trying to boot from floppy and start the setup from DOS... but it won't let me.

It has nothing to do with the file structure of the boot disk.

203487 2003-12-28 08:54:00 Well...

I installed Win 98se... worked without a hitch. Tried to then install 2000 over the top, and ended up with the same problems. I am wondering now if its a problem with the 2000 CD, although the problems are all occurring at different stages.

This machine has previously been running W2K, installed off this CD.

Very odd - we might end up just sticking with 98.
