[ minimal BASH- like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename.]

Grub is a bootloader for linux, which should give you a list of operting systems to boot, did this computer come with any instructions or discs. It seems like you either have to type in the OS you want, or if yopu just want windows 2000 on it then it would probably just be easier to reinstall it if you have the disc.

Here are some instructions on using grub:
