installing windows 2000 from dos

[Mike-e-boy]

i have an IBM Thinkpad... everytime i turn it on it says "vmm32.vxd is required to run windows. if this file is not in ur path you might need to reinstall windows" and then its followd by a dos prompt... i have a windows 2000 disk but i dont know where to go from there... the computer does not have a floppy drive so the whole process needs to be done from the disk (D) drive.... can anyone please help me? thank you...

Put the disk in the drive & boot the computer.
If that doesn't work you will need to set your cdrom as the first boot device in your bios.

That is if the Win2000 is a real Microsoft disc and not a restore disk for a different computer.
