I`m trying to install windows 2000 pro on my laptop that I bought from DELL. It`s duel-booting windows 98 and ME on separate partitions, and The hard drive is rather small (im not sure how big, only a couple hundred mbs on each partition left). So, I want to reformat it and do a clean install of windows 2000 pro.
Anyhow, I thought it was going 2 be a walk in the park since I`ve done this a million times; with my desktops. Turns out that my friend has my CD-ROM drive with him, and he's all the way over in Wisconsin. I have an external USB CD-ROM drive with me, but when I run the setup, it won`t detect the external drive (probably cuz it USB). During setup, you can press F6 to load any SCSI drivers, but I don`t know if this drive is that kind...
So, I pressed it and tried my CD-ROM driver manufacterer disk. It apparently needs a file called `txtsetup.oem,` to work. I tried searching my computer for it, I`ve tried the setup diskettes. I googled it, but found nothing for my CD-ROM drive. Can some1 help me? It's a Philips CD-ROM/RW drive, series 400. If you need more info, tell me.
Thx for any help!
