I could lend you a Win2K PRO CD if the worst happens.  As you presumably have your own license key I guess it should be OK.

Subject: [ukha_d] OT w2k install help.

I'm ready to install win2k on my newly purchased Sony Vaio C1VE but I've run into a problem. I have an upgrade from win2k workstation, and don't have a CD drive. I was planning to install from an i386 folder on the D: partition, but once the file copy is over it bombs out from setup with a message that Windows NT is not installed on the machine. Is there a way of getting around this without installing NT?

 

I want to do a clean install of Win2k, not an upgrade from NT4.

 

Any ideas? I seem to remember it only being a difference in a single file.

 

Tim.
