Boot disk won’t work

by blissss . Updated 16 years, 5 months ago

My brother has loaned me an old PC (my laptop screen shattered!) with Windows 2000 on it. He had set it up so that his password went in automatically, but I changed the user settings and now the password doesn’t complete automatically and he doesn’t know what it is, so I can’t log on! So he sent me the disk to reboot it and I can’t get it to work. I have changed the BIOS settings so that the cd rom is used first, but it keeps going to the hard drive. I also tried disabling the hard drive in the security BIOS settings for booting, but it comes up with a message ‘Operating System not found’. I would assume that it’s not a cord/connection problem, as it’s all in one “box”. I also can’t download any other cd’s to try as I don’t have any other working PC (I am doing this on the Wii – fun!) Any ideas please??
