Borrow someone else's W2K-CD and install, using your own key.
Or copy the whole i386 folder to the HD and try running winnt.exe (from DOS) or winnt32.exe (from Windows) from the same i386 folder.

Thank you for reply .
I don't have anyone who has win2k around .
I bought computer from boeing company . It came with 2 win2k disks
that are for big corps . That is that they all have the same key .
I will try your suggestion and burn i386 folder to cd then boot with
win98 floppy with cd support on it .
Hope it works . It was only a test for me to see if it would install
on a non dell computer .
Read statement that cd would not give warning . Just reinforcing
what the poor guy with same problem said is true
