I didn't have any problems with booting off the cd-rom. I haven't been
following the threads on your problem, so forgive me if I repeat some
questions. I did have Windows 2000 installed on the laptop, but I didn't
encounter any problems. Are you sure that your BIOS is configured to boot
from the cd-rom first? Have you given thought about copying the contents
of the cd-rom on your hard drive and installing from there? Or have you
tried starting the installation from a floopy?
I did have a problem with PCMCIA support during the installation. After
several attempts, I said no to anything that dealt with PCMCIA during the
install. I'm not sure if that would be a problem with your installation
once your solve your boot up problems.
