I'm having trouble installing windows 2000

[Anthony_2000]

Right not I have windows 98 2nd edition. I was looking to upgrade and the CD disk for 2000 did not work. I tried going USB but in the bios it didn't recognize it. I replaced the CD drive to make sure it wasn't the drive and it wasn't the case.

Hi Anthony List your system specs.

Wow those OS are so outdated and unsupported. Get yourself a copy of Windows 10 if your system is not so ancient as well.

I have the gateway performance 800. I figured out the problem but I'm stuck on a screen saying starting windows. My solution was taking the hard drive out and putting it in my optiplex and installing it there. I don't even have a GB of ram lol, windows 7,8, or 10 would be a nightmare. I'm using this computer to play old CD games. Also can't get into safe mode.

I'm so sorry Anthony 🙁 I'm not going to be able to help a great deal. Your system dates back to 2000 and now belongs in a museum. My only advice would be to update your system.

Thanks for effort and your suggestions, but I want it to be old because I like the look and feel. For my modern gaming needs I use the ASUS G751JY laptop with 4 core Intel Core i7-4720HQ 2.6GHz, 16 gb ram, and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M with 4GB DDR5 VRAM. Thanks again for support and I will continue to find a solution.
