Reinstall Win 2000 Pro on new hard drive

I am trying to re-install Win 2000 Pro on a new hard drive because my old one died.
This was an upgrade when I purchased it so now when I try to reinstall it asks for
a Win98 CD as proof that I am eligible to upgrade. I cannot locate my Win 98 CD.
Does anyone know a way around this problem? Thank you.

Goto bootdisk.com and download win98se OEM ver.boot disk and use it...
After you download the file run it ,,, it will make a boot disk for you.. have a
NEW 3 1/2 " disk on hand..
Then when ask for proof tell it to look at the A: drive for it.
You can also use the number one disk from windows 3.0/3.1 if you have on one hand..or
the number one disk from win98 disk set...
Good Luck
Happy New Year :>)

Thanks Dex. I have a boot diskette, but I don't know how to make it look at the
A: (floppy) drive. Any suggestions? Thanks.
