But not the Windows 2000 CD, I bet.

I think you have one of the old machines which only could boot from a CD 
in floppy emulation mode.  Those will not work with isolinux (without 
SBM), but you can create a floppy image using SYSLINUX and boot it.

There were a lot of such crappy bioses until Microsoft started using El 
Torito native mode, at which point they quickly got fixed.
