RE: Win2k install question

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

Well I just pulled an all nighter, and I managed to install the upgrade version of Windows 2000 on a C1VE with no CDROM drive. It wasn't easy, and I came across loads of stumbling blocks along the way. If I get round to putting together a web page, I'll post the details here.

Subject: Win2k install question

I'm ready to install win2k on my 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.
