I recently aquired an old compaq that still had a windows 2000 license. It didn't come with an OS so I want to put windows on it. Is there anywhere I cant get the ISO? like Micorsoft's website?

Thanks in advance.

no ive tried that in the past

If the licence is OEM then it would be illegal to use it with different media but if not then ebay is your friend :)

Go to the motherboard manufacturers site and get the chipset drvers from there

Use SIW to identify NIC chip manufacturer and model. Post back with info if you need help finding the driver.
