DosFreak 2 Posted October 2, 2000 1. Download Winzip 8.0 from www.winzip.com. Install Winzip 8.0. 2. Copy the Windows 2000 CD to "?":\W2PSEL_EN on your HD. (?:\ = Drive letter, W2pSEL_EN = Volume Label of CD 3. Right-Click on Sp1network.exe and extract to the sp1network directory. 4. Go to the Update directory in the sp1network directory. 5. Make a batch file called update.bat and place these lines into it: update.exe -s:"?":\W2PSEL_EN "?"=Drive Letter What update.exe looks for is the i386 directory. So change the F:\ to reflect the drive that has the i386 directory from the Windows 2000 CD. W2PSEL_EN is just the directory where the i386 directory resides. In case your wondering why mine is different it's because I have the SELECT version. 6. Save the batch file and run it. 7. It should update your files and it will tell you when it is done. If it doesn't then you have done something wrong. 8. Download CDRWIN from www.goldenhawk.com. Install cDRWIN. 9. Get the CD-ROM boot sector and CD Marker files from here: http://www.angelfire.com/de2/w2kcd/neededfiles.zip 10. Place the appropriate files from neededfiles.zip into the root directory of W2PSEL_EN. Place CDROM_NT.5 into the root of the CD. Place: CDROM_IP.5 - If you are doing 2000 PRO then place this into the root. CDROM_IS.5 - If you are doing 2000 SERVER then place this into the root. CDROM_IA.5 - If you are doing 2000 ADVANCED SERVER then place this into the root. 11. The root of the directory should now contain only these files: Autorun.inf cdrom_iX.5 cdrom_nt.5 read1st.txt readme.doc setup.exe 12. Open CDRWIN and choose the File Backup and Tools option 13. In the BACKUP/TOOL Operation Choose the Build an ISO9660 Image File 14. in FILE BACKUP List click the DIRECTORY button and choose the directory where you copied the Windows 2000 CD. Click OK. Then click the ADD button. You should see the directory in the big box now. 15. Check the INCLUDE HIDDEN FILES,LONG FILENAMES(JOLIET),INCLUDE SYSTEM FILES,RECURSE SUBDIRECTORIES. Uncheck PRESERVE FULL FILE NAMES. boxes. 16. For IMAGE FILENAME click the three dots at the right and choose a directory and a filename. Then click Save. You should see the pathname and the filename of your .ISO in the box. 17. Check the DISABLE VERSION NUMBERS box. 18. Click the ADVANCED OPTIONS button. 19. For Volume Label use the name of the original Windows 2000 CD. Ex: W2PSEL_EN For Volume Set Name use the bame of the original Windows 2000 CD Publisher Name: MICROSOFT CORPORATION PREPARER NAME: MICROSOFT CORPORATION, ONE MICROSOFT WAY, REDMOND WA 98052, (206) 882-8080 20. Choose the BOOTABLE DISC tab. 21. Check the MAKE BOOTABLE DISC box. 22. For MEDIA EMULATION CHOOSE Custom 23. For Image File name use the boot.bin from the neededfiles.zip. 24. For DEVELOPER NAME use MICROSOFT CORPORATION 25. For Load Sector Count use the number 4. 26. Click OK and then START. 27. When it's done open up any CDR burning program that supports .ISO's to burn your IMAGE to CD. Share this post Link to post

EM 0 Posted October 2, 2000 Or you can download the latest CloneCD and make a bit for bit clone of your Win2k CD. www.elbay.de Nothing more to do, no long list of instructions, just put in the CD and copy it.

Igor 0 Posted October 2, 2000 EM, what Kyosho46vr whats to do it to take the original Win2k CD, then upgrade the CD to SP1 and then burn it back onto the CD so now when he installs it, he doesn't have to re-apply SP1 to every Win2k installetion. Which is WAY different from regular cd copy 8) Share this post Link to post
EM 0 Posted October 2, 2000 Sorry, I didn't understand that that was what he wanted to do. I understood him as asking how to copy the CD and retain the bootable part. My fault.

Kyosho46vr 0 Posted October 2, 2000 I appreciate all the posts, but I am trying to copy with Easy Creator 4.02 Deluxe, I caan find where it says make bootable under the arrow tab but it asks me for .sys from a floppy. I have copied the CD and all files appear on each disk but but the copy does not boot!! Ned Share this post Link to post
J_Pro 0 Posted January 8, 2001 I have burned this thing multiple times using an upgrade version as well as an OEM version and the full version server CD. It always asks me to insert the SP1 CD during install. I don't get it. I can successfully construct a bootable CD using CDRWIN and the needed files but only without up[censored] the install files to SP1. Share this post Link to post
