I had a similar question asked about W2K, see here for my test results.

Yes, read here

Will other PCs (preferable those with a completely different chipset) recognise your nLited CD? If so you've probably integrated the wrong SATA drivers, I had a similar problem with nForce SATA drivers about a month ago, drove me nuts.

That seemed to do the trick, with one modification. I had to move IF EXIST *.msp FOR /F %%I IN ('DIR/B *.msp') DO (ECHO Processing %%I...&START/WAIT MSIEXEC /p %%I /a "!DNF1DIR!DNF11\netfx.msi" /qb) further down the script, as it complained about sp1 not being installed. The (apparently working) modified section now looks like: IF EXIST dotnetfx.exe IF "%PROCESS_DNF1%"=="YES" ( ECHO Processing .NET 1.1 installer...&MD "!DNF1DIR!DNF11"&CALL :TMPCOUNT START/WAIT dotnetfx.exe /C /T:"!TMPDIR!"

In theory it should work OK, but as I don't have a Vista box to test on I can't say for sure. One could also take the apparent complete lack of posts complaining that it doesn't work as evidence that it does. In theory it should work OK, but as I don't have a Vista box to test on I can't say for sure.

Um, no. For those who are interested, a new version (2.0) of Sun VirtualBox was released yesterday that according to the changelog supports 64-bit guests (but only on 64-bit hosts). However, while XP x64 seemed to install OK, I for one couldn't get the virtual machine additions to work (error opening file).

If you are getting timing issues with the DriverPacks then you should use the custom finisher option and place the finisher command: rem support Bashrat the Sneaky's Driver Packs %SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe above the "Start ShutDown ..." line in your batch file. The following is a good idea for the start of the batch file (2 minute delay, n-1): rem startup delay to allow disk thrashing to subside before proceeding Ping -n 121 127.0.0.1>nul

It's been bugging me for a while, on the regional setting page I get a Keyboard type of 00000409 when working on Win XP Pro (x32) or Win XP x64, but strangely enough not when working on Win 2000. Everything still seems to work OK though, any ideas as to why?

Added to \Hotfix: % ▼ 385-WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB944043-v5-x64-ENU.exe [9,298,480] Optional, Server 2008 compatibility pack (untested) Probably should say untestable as I don't have access to a Server 2008 box. Updated Run1_XP-64.bat for latest program versions. Also cleaned up the download section (made direct download links more obvious). I will be removing most of the optionals from the .7z archive on the next update, they will remain in the torent as most clients allow individual selection of files to be downloaded.

Added support for automated install of Virtual Machine drivers and details on multi-CD installs.

In that case skip step 7 and instead burn the files & folders you would have copied to another CD. You will also have to do one of the following: A ) If you have multiple CD drives just put one CD in each, too easy. B ) Set a system boot password in BIOS and then change CDs on the second reboot. C ) Insert a Pause command as the first line of the RunOnce file (step 5), change CDs on the pause. If you find that you've added too many AddOns and your image is over CD size, you can just delete the appropriate executables from \I386\svcpack and recreate the image. Most of the executables will be switchless installers so you could instead add them to Run2_W2Ksp5.bat (open the original .cab file and read the Entries*.ini file to be sure). For instance you could do a base W2K CD with all the DriverPacks (except Graphics A) and another CD with 560MB of application installs (113MB already reserved). Part 7: Testing There are 3 free Virtualization programs that you can use to test your creation, VMware Server, Sun VirtualBox and Microsoft VirtualPC 2007. Automatic installation of Virtual Machine drivers is supported, just place the appropriate .iso file at \AddOns (you MUST use a 7-Zip AddOn for this to work, from either Rado354 or JohnDoe74). VMware Server Pros: Can virtualize just about anything, including x64 guest OS's (x64 guest requires recent CPU) Cons: 5 times the size of the others, registration required ISO: %ProgramFiles%\VMware\VMware Server\Windows.iso Sun VirtualBox (last version to run on a Win2000 host here) Pros: Nice seemless mode, also good for virtualizing Linux Cons: Will not virtualize Win9x properly, do NOT install Comodo Firewall on the guest ISO: %ProgramFiles%\Sun xVM VirtualBox\VBoxGuestAdditions.iso Microsoft VirtualPc 2007 (Host OS XP or later) Pros: Good for virtualizing Win9x, guest usuable even without VM drivers Cons: Will not virtualize non Microsoft Os's properly ISO: %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Virtual PC\Virtual Machine Additions\VMAdditions.iso

The IF ... statement is there for 5eraph's update pack. 5eraph's update pack creates a working "Microsoft Update.lnk", so I check for it's existence. If it exists a "Windows Update.lnk" is redundant, if not then Run1_XP-64.bat fixes the broken link.

This may not apply to v3.0.25.378 but: I've tested (for my W2K guide) automated installation of Virtual Machine extensions for VMware Server, MS Virtual PC 2007 and Sun VirtualBox. I found that Comodo Firewall v2.4.18.184 (last version to work with W2K) is incompatible with VirtualBox, once installed the Virtual OS will not start, even in safe mode. It works fine in VMware Server and MS Virtual PC 2007.

Go to the P2P downloads section, you can get a version without Java via torrent. Or you could extract your Java bundled download with 7-zip and just run the Open Office installer.

TranceEnergy: As I read it, .Net 3.5 sp1 does NOT install language packs by default, rather using the /Lang switch allows you to install one additional language pack. I timed the .Net 3.5 sp1 install in a VM on my new machine (7 minutes) and on my rebuilt old machine (6 minutes, now a hand-me-"up" to my parents). It's hard to see that you'd save any significant install time as installing a language pack is basically just copying dictionary files. On the hotfix list: The following are not publicly available (MS download centre) and have only received limited testing. I can say potential for regression bug ... KB948570 KB948963 KB945272 KB952679 KB944043 I'll look at this one but no guarantees KB942288 vs KB927891 (msi.dll) Marked as optional, nLite will only add the most up to date (as defined by version number) file to the installation source, once Microsoft is satisfied that there are no compatibility issues with v4.5, v3.1 will be dropped. KB941833 (msxml4) I tried installing this one manually once, but it threw a version mismatch error. Reading the KB article indicates that it is only to resolve a Vista specific issue with KB936181. KB946648 (Messenger) Granted, it may be old, but it's the version that's on the CD. I can't remember if it's part of a default install, but as it's in "Set Program Access and Defaults >> Add/Remove Windows Components", one could say it's already marked as optional. KB924131 (VirtualPC) This one I'm just going by the documentation, I don't have any AMD-V capable processors to test against. KB914783 (XMLlite) That version will not install on an sp2 patched box, tested when I was trying to find out why KB943729 kept showing up on windows update. Johnhc: I'll take another look at Flash Player once it reaches final release status, no beta products in the "Core" updates, OK for the supported optional application installs. Google (perpetual beta {tm}), I'm looking at you! Adamski: Not really within the scope of this topic. This guide is just meant to be quick, easy and failsafe using the original Microsoft installers. Too much information will just be confusing to the vast majority of users who are perfectly happy with the default paths (and poorly written installers might have problems with non-default paths). Such questions are best dealt with in their own topic, for one thing you get to use a descriptive topic heading that will help others searching for similar information.

It's nothing you've done, rather Windows 2000 does not natively support 48 bit Logical Block Addressing, so you have an upper limit of 137GB. Could it also be that the HDD is SATA? If so see if there is a setting in BIOS that will set the drive to IDE mode. To get around the 137GB limit integrate the Unofficial Service Pack 5 (using the driverpacks referred to in that post should solve any SATA related issues).

You guess correctly (though I think you're stuck with the cabs). Your prize is a suggestion that those who make update packs (RyanVM forums) are more likely to be able to give a definite answer to your question.

As I understand it, Microsoft's hotfix installers as well as 3rd party apps like nLite, HFslip & RVM integrator use the build number simply to determine which is the latest version and hence whether the file in question should be replaced. If you look at the version number it is in the form x.x.x.x, for XP x64 it should be 5.2.3790.x where: 5 => NT5 series 2 => 2K3 series (Win2000 5.0, WinXP 5.1) 3790 => Build number of service pack 2 Only the last number should change.

It would seem that accessing the array adds significant overhead (more filters) as I got the message "Not enough server storage is available to process this command" when accessing a shared folder over the network after rebuilding my old box with 2*250GB in RAID 0 (yes I know it's risky but I've written a batch file to back it up across the network twice a week). The error did not exist when the 2 drives were in normal BASE mode. A google search finds a Microsoft knowledge base article that had the solution. Note that the maximum value given in the article is wrong, it can go up to 50 decimal on NT5.x, 16 didn't work for me so I went to 24. I also wanted to see if I could dual boot with Linux Mint but it didn't recognise the array and for some reason the partitioner broke the array even though it was only reading the tables. However as it only read the tables I was able to go into the RAID utility, delete & recreate the array, with no further problems.
