re: Win2K clean install Monday, February 17, 2003 at 10:53 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Manny (1 messages posted) Same problem but with a clone, somehow is not detecting my cd for W2K. In any instance when I try setup it tells me, it can't be run in DOS, and with WINNT it tells me bad command or file name? can you help?
