I was able to install Win 2K on my B&W using VPC6 without needing a boot disk. All I did was create a C drive, create a new setting, and link the C drive with the new setting.

I loaded the Win 2K CD, (VPC automatically detects it) pressed the "any" key (sorry a Simpsons joke) and Win 2K install booted up. -- Mac Canada is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
