Win 2000 boot disk

[compman]

I I have win 2000 on one computer and it won't boot up. When it boots up I get this error .Win 2000 would not be started because of the following file is missing or corrupt.
winnT\system32\config\systemced.
The problem is I don't have a boot disk.Is it possible to download a boot disk?
Thanks

You can get all kinds of boot disks at www.bootdisk.com, but that will not help. Do you have a real Windows CD? That will be the solution.

Yes I do have the original CD for win 2000.When the computer starts up I hit f8 and or delete to run setup but I can't get to the screen to boot from CD.
Thanks

F8 is not related to the problem. The solution is that you need to set the computer to boot from the CDROM first. This is done in the BIOS boot order. Just make sure that the CD is higher in priority than the hard drive.

To Boot To The Floppy Drive
On most Motherboards, you click DEL to get into the BIOS settings. When the computer s booting up it will say (Press DEL to Enter Setup) <<<It might be an F# Key<<< Enter BIOS, poke around and look for where you can change your boot order. Set your Floppy drive first (A) -Then save changes -Restart

And... You can get a bootdisk here>>>
