Windows 2000 Boot discs

Thank you very much.
Will let you know in a few hours if we have success.
Otherwise a cheap used system with OS and discs might be on the wish list.

Don't know if we cured it or not.
Power came on, then nothing.
I installed an old spare adapter card, worked for a bit, then froze.
Uninstalled above card, set default settings and saved, ran CCleaner, deleted 120 registry entries, seems to work fine. Noticed where he plugs monitor in, it is loose, and worse, it is a Compaq Deskpro EN small form series where everything is one big board. Since computer started to respond when we moved this connection(coincidence?), I am not sure if it is broke or cracked, and only makes connection at certain angle, or if it was a corrupt registry. Did not move monitor or cables again yet.

Didn't actually get to try the discs, did the afore mentioned. Informed him he needs to buy a proper program to make an image, and/or back-up program as well as to buy system discs. He just wants to use this computer for a little longer-year- then buy a new one.
