I just reformatted my system hard disk but I completely
cleared everything including the system startup files.
I am putting win 2000 on for the first time but I can't
get the system to load off the disc. I have the Win98
startup disc but I don't know if that will help me.
What do i do to load win2000?

Boot from the Win 2k CD. You may have to set your CD drive to boot before
you hard drive in your computer BIOS

I switched the bios so cd loads first but it keeps giving
me an invalid system disk error. I tried my win 2000 CD
as well as my win98 CD.

The Win 2k CD is bootable. Make sure there is nothing in the Floppy drive.
