JaytheletterJ Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 I am trying to downgrade to Windows 2000 from Windows XP, but my comp seems to ignore the Windows 2000 CD and loads XP anyways. Any ideas? -HeAtWaVe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtgriffith Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 You have to watch closely. You have about two seconds to press any key to boot from CDROM. If you miss it then it continues to the next boot device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtgriffith Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 If you don't have an OS then the Winodws 2000 CD starts automatically but if you do then it displays a message Press any key to boot from CDROM. The message doesn't stay around long before it boots your OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeza Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 or maybe the BIOS isnt set to boot the CD-ROM drive first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
