Since everyone is entitled to an opinion about operating systems, here is mine. Win2K is great for production apps. but has serious limitations when it comes to games and drivers don't exist for a large amount of older hardware. Drivers just weren't available. When the XP code was developed they compined the best parts of Win2k and NT. At the same time Microsoft corrected a lot of the software issues that prevented Win2K from easily running many games, apps. and other "Driver" sensitive applications. They also made XP much more "User Friendly" than its older brother Win2K.

I don't think Win2K can do anything better than XP and XP is easier for the novice computer operator to use. I suggest that you stick with it!

how do i enter bio and and change first boot device to cd?
