Laptop Problem

[avengerm1]

Hi everyone,

I have a Dell Latitude C610 Laptop that was running Win 2000K. I recently formated the whole thing and wanted to just reinstall Win 2000K. After doing a system transfer Sys a: c: successfully, and going for the install of the operating system the virtual D drive doesn't show the CD in the drive so I can do a setup.exe.

I tried formating again and did (Md DOS) loaded the files along with MSCD.EXE Config.sys and Autoexec . . . but still it won't identify the CD-ROM drive so I can do the install. By the way, I don't have the system resource CD. What am I missing here? Can anyone give me some advice. I've been out of computers for about three years and this is rather strange I usually get the stuff done first time around.

Thanks all!

Reinstall the CD drive....install any drivers that you may be missing....get winXP

Doing a Dos-->W2K Installation can work but its messy (compounded more by the fact that laptops are inheirently finicky)

Format from the installation so you avoid that problem

Bah you dont need that, its actually kinda useless
