Exclamation Problem installing Win2000Pro

Trying to do a fresh install of Win2000Pro on a laptop. At the 'Install 2000' part and after pressing Enter this shows up:

Setup did not find any hard disk drives installed in your computer.

Make sure any hard disk drives are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct. This may involve running a manufacturer-supplied diagnostic or setup program.

Setup cannot continue. To quit Setup, press F3.

What am i going to do to fix this? I wanted to use a fdisk to delete and create new partition, but the laptop doesn't have a floppy drive.

Also, in the boot order, its hard drive, cd, floppy, network someting.
How would I use the Network boot thing?

Use an ubuntu or debian installation CD, go to its partitioner and see if there are any NTFS or FAT32 partitions. If not, make one.
