I just bought this computer. It is my experiment, because I am trying to get my A+ certification. When I turned on the computer, it doesn't have an OS. So, I put my Win2000 cd in it and try to install it. When I go to the step where it asks where I want to repair Windows, install windows or exit, I choose install. Then it tell me that it does not have a hard drive. But when I opened the computer and I looked at the hard drive, it does have a 10GB hard drive, which isn't much, but its more than enough for my experiments. I also am unable to locate the BIOS settings. I know that you can go to BIOS by switching a pin in the motherboard. I was really wondering if someone with experience or that have had some previous experience or knowledge with this, can help me! Please. Thanks.

First, find out what motherboard you have. Second, once done, look for its manual. Third, see what it says regarding accessing the BIOS.
