actually steps 16 and 21 serve no purpose. Volume label can be anything you want hell my last whistler CD wasnt even labeled. As for in the boot option as long as its set to custom and the load sector is 4 then it will boot. The Microsoft Corporation crap isnt needed. Just informing you of some uneeded steps

Bah! Some people want the ORIGINAL CD.

Or you can just order a new media from MS costs you $30 and arrives in 2 days

[DosFreak 2]

?? MS doesn't sell Windows 2000 SP2 integrated as far as I know. I've seen Dell discs with integrated SP's but never by Microsoft....and even the Dell integrated SP's don't update the boot disks to work with the integrated disc.

The link to the bootdisk script at soundcardcentral.com seems to have been deleted. Is it possible for you create a mirror ? If you can I would be happy.

It's in the guide. Just copy the text in-between the lines to a .cmd file and run it.
