I have an old server that has a CD-ROM that can’t read burned CDs. I have no other option but to find an original windows 2000 CD. Anyone have one laying around I can have/borrow? Thanks, me ---

The point isn’t spending money, its that I’m trying to install 2000 onto an old dell server that only has a SCSI interface. I am well aware that I could just buy a new CD-ROM, but this one works fine with regular CDs. I don’t feel like spending any money on a crappy old dual PII 300 machine. Thanks for the replies though. I’m still looking 🙂 ---

why not “borrow” a cd drive from another machine you have for bit, install what you need to, then switch back? ---

> [@evolve](#): > > why not “borrow” a cd drive from another machine you have for bit, install what you need to, then switch back? Because I don’t have any newer SCSI drives sitting around. I tried an ATA controller card with another CD-ROM, but that didnt work out. I tried an adapter for another drive, again with the same results. The drive works as it can install windows XP, but I want windows 2000. Dont ask… it’s not my decision. I just need the original CD, unfortunately, that is my only option. ---
