I have a copy of windows 98 and a copy of windows 2000 they are full versions not upgrades but are not bootable how can I make these discs bootable so I can boot of them?You probably need to GO into the BIOS and change your boot order. That can be accomplished by REBOOTING your system and PRESSING the key that corresponds to the setup key before the system completely BOOTS. (Could be F8 or F10 or even ESC) Once in BIOS setup, go through the menu items until you find something called boot order. (May not say exactly this.) Then change this to have the CD be the first item listed. Be sure to SAVE this setting or else it will not keep the change you made.
I hope this all makes sense.
Let me know if you have any questions.Panda i think they are saying the CD's themselves are not bootable so this wouldn't work...
Although some versions of Win98 were not Win2K should be.

smf are these copies of the OS CD's ? ?yes they are cd's and I set my boot options to boot cd drive first the cd's themselves are not bootable I need the cds to be bootable how can I tweek them
