Is is possible to use the fancy Setup program that comes with Windows XP to install Windows 2000? I want to have the nice look and the text that explains on the side like in the Windows XP installer.

Is there a way to change the names of the default system folders that the Windows 2000 Setup program creates? I found some entries in txtsetup.sif like: [WinntDirectories] 1 = "\" 2 = system32 3 = system32\config 4 = system32\drivers 5 = system 6 = system32\os2 7 = system32\ras 8 = system32\os2\dll 9 = system32\spool 10 = system32\spool\drivers 11 = system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3 12 = system32\spool\prtprocs 13 = system32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86 14 = system32\wins 15 = system32\dhcp 16 = repair 17 = system32\drivers\etc 18 = system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 19 = system32\drivers\disdn 20 = inf 21 = Help 22 = Fonts 23 = Config 24 = msagent\intl 25 = Cursors 26 = Media 30 = system32\ShellExt 31 = Web 32 = system32\Setup 33 = Web\printers 34 = system32\spool\drivers\color 35 = system32\wbem 36 = system32\wbem\Repository 37 = addins 38 = "Connection Wizard" 39 = "Driver Cache\i386" 40 = security 41 = security\templates 42 = system32\npp 43 = system32\ias 44 = system32\dllcache 45 = Temp 46 = Web\printers\images 47 = system32\export 48 = system32\wbem\mof\good 49 = system32\wbem\mof\bad 50 = twain_32 51 = msapps\msinfo 52 = msagent 53 = msagent\chars 54 = security\logs 57 = system32\mui 58 = %MUI_PRIMARY_LANG_ID_DIR% 59 = system32\mui\dispspec 60 = AppPatch 61 = Debug 62 = Debug\UserMode 63 = system32\ie_de Can I modify those? Will the setup program still work if I do? I want them Like this: Program Files = bin Winnt = sbin Documents and Settings = usr temp = var Connection Wizard = inetcfg Driver Cache = dev

I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD with SP4 integrated. I am trying to reduce the size of the CD. There is a guide like this for XP, http://jdeboeck.msfnhosting.com/ but not for Windows 2000. Can you reduce the size of the CD by removing files on the CD?
