All I want to do is put windows 2000 on this old laptop, if anyone can help me, it would be appreciated. heres the info:

It has:

-no cdrom drive
-a floppy drive
-1 usb port that may or may not work

my other idea was putting /386 on my flash drive and copying it and
going from this: http://www.bootdisk.com/usb.htm

I Tried a dos USB DUSE bootdisk. my usb flash drive isn't recognized in this. tried all the methods except for 4, and I can't find the files on the internet for 4, so it might or might not work.

That is where I'm at now. My only other idea is somehow getting a bootdisk that has support for a USB wireless network card for dos, and booting into this, going onto my computer where win2000 would be and copying it, but I can't find any info on this or know if its even possible. I've found network boot disks, but they don't support my linksys wireless b usb network card.

Any ideas?
 
Pull the drive out, plug it into your desktop using an adapter, install win2k, plug it back into the laptop.
 
yeah, i just don't have that adapter, but the good news is, I made a custom boot disk that gave me full support of my usb thumb drive, and i copied win2k that way. thanks anyway
