Hi Randy,
The reason for your troubles is the fact that you can't use a 98 or ME startup disk to start the 2000 installation. If your cd-rom drive is bootable all you'll need to do is restart your computer with the 2000 cd in your cd-rom and it should enter the installation automatically. If you cd-rom is not bootable then your next option would be to get a set of Win 2000 boot disks which I don't have the link for right now, but I'll try to find for you.
