Can some tell me how I can install Windows 2000 from a freshly formated hard drive. I tried but it says cannot intsall from DOS. Thank you.

I have a Wireless network running. Here is the setup: Desktop= Windows 2000 Laptop = Window ME Both the Laptop and the Desktop can see each other. The desktop can access the Laptops shared folders but when I try and access the Desktops shared folders from the Laptop I get this message "\\Desktop is not accessible. No permission to access resourse." I have the shared folder set to Full access and Permission to Everyone. Im new to Windows 2000 and I think there is some setting Im missing. Can anyone help. Thank you !!

The first suggestion worked great ! Thanx for your time and help Toby !!!

Thanx Toby for your help. Can you go into a littile more detail on how I do both of those suggestions. Im new to Windows 2000. This is my 2nd day using it. Also there isnt any passwords on the Windows ME machine.

Yes it is. Ok here is an update. I got to this point. When I double click on the shared folder of the desktop from the Laptop I get this message: Enter Network Password You must supply a password to make this connection Resource: \\DESKTOP\MY DOCUMENTS and then there is a place for me to type a password. The only thing is I didnt set a password. When I set up the folder to make it shared, there wasn't even an option to make it password protected. Any suggestions ? Thanx for your help.

Thanx it worked great !

Thanx Guys for responding. When I try to boot from the CD I get the message "Disk boot error. Put a boot disk in and press enter." When I use the win98 boot disk and go to the cd and press setup, I get the message "Cannot run in DOS mode" I installed it over Win98 fine but I want to do a clean install. Any other suggestions ? Is there I boot disk of some kind I can use ? Thanx.
