Hello

So I have ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop, and had put kubuntu 8.04 on my other hard drive on the desktop. I realized that there are a few things missing that i can't do just yet in there because there's no linux clients of things like steam and ventrilo. So I figured I'd just install windows2000 because that's what I have a spare copy of that isn't in use. Got the hard drive prepped with fat32 for now, because I figured the setup cd can change it to ntfs at will. But I can't get the computer to boot from cd! It will boot livecds of all sorts of linux distros no problem...so I don't think it's the cd drive being setup wrong.

I have a few floppies if i need to make a boot floppy, but I'm young enough that I've never actually needed to do this before! Any tips or help for this sticky wicket? I remember using this disc once before to install, but I think i ended up using a floppy then, too, which of course I can't find now, lol. If someone can point me to the files but not how to make the floppy in linux, I can probably take that much to the ubuntu forums.

Or go all the way back to windows 98 *shudders*

My laptop's in repairs with best buy (*yay warranties*) and who knows until i get it back, which is why i'm trying to do this.

thanks,
snowy
