I put together a new computer with no OS. But I do have Windows 2000 on an old hard drive that still works. I do not have the CD's but I do have the CD key for it. What would be the easiest way to do this. Making the boot cd's appears to be time consuming but I can buy them. Will buying boot cd's work? I could also buy an OS but on the cover it says that the OS is "for distribution for Dell computers". Will this work or must it be a Dell? I don't want to buy a full version OS if I can get Windows 2000 working from the HD which will be put in the new computer also. Thank You for any help!
