cannot open boot partition

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup (More info?)

I do that and when it boots from cd again it says that
it "can not open the boot partition to check for a
signature" and starts the whole installation process over.
And if I take the cd out it gives me the boot failure
error.

that is irrelevant because I have tried 3 different hard
drives and get the same error
