I retired my trusty Gateway and have a new Dell.
I ordered no software as I have a licenced copy of both Windows 2000 and XP
Pro.
Went to install Windows 2000 but aborts with message :

error Bios not supported
This Product only licenced for a computer manufactured by Gateway inc.

This is a bit draconian - Is it my Windows 2000 licence or not?

Anyone have a workaround?

TIA
