	No, they're the boot-disks for the operating-system. As in you pop the disks in, and it loads what it needs to PREPARE to install Windows. With 95/98/ME, it just loads up a few things and then gives you command-prompt; with NT-based versions of Windows (NT/2k/XP), it loads all of the basic configuration-info into memory, then asks for the Windows CD.

	just change your boot sequence in bios putting cd drive as first.

	You should be able to run the Win2000 discs and will auto format.
