I want to install Win2K Pro on a Dell Inspiron 8000 notebook which has W2K already on it but with a forgotten login password. The CD-ROM does not work. I have W2KPro on a USB pen drive and the four W2k floppies I made for booting/setup. Will the setup menu allow me to install W2K from the USB drive?
Thanks.

This tells you how to install the OS and what to do.

If the Install Disc isn't working that could be the problem. Or it could be that you need to change a BIOS Setting to alter the Boot Order to Floppy, Optical Drive, HDD.

Not sure about Booting from the USB you would have to look in the Owners Manual for that one
