Now my Win2K is up and running. I only had to activate C, copy the three files from the USB stick to C and adapt boot.ini. Thanks a lot for your help.

Since I had no other USB devices connected and my BIOS is the latest version I started changing BIOS settings. I ended up clearing CMOS and this finally helped. No more Bluescreen but the partition selection screen of the Win2K text setup. Beside the USB stick my existing partitions C and D were displayed. I selected C for install and the following setup was OK until after the third boot when booting from HDD for the first time. There I get the message "Reboot and select proper boot device ...". Did I miss something again?

On another PC I get no BlueScreen and I get to the screen where I can select the partition to install Win2K on. So the USB stick seems to be OK. The PC with the Bluescreen has an Asus A8V Deluxe Mainboard with AMD Opteron.

Yes. BlueScreen again.

Sorry, I didn't find that post. Yes. With the dummy file I am able to prepare the USB stick with version 0.2.3. But I still get the BlueScreen. Could my current partitioning be a problem? I have a primary partition © with NTFS of 8 GB and a logical of 43 GB with NTFS on my IDE disk. Additionally two SATA drives are connected to an onboard RAID controller. But I haven't set up a RAID array. Theses are just single disks. And deconnecting the SATA drives did't change anything.

Hi, I am trying to setup Win2k with WinSetupFromUSB. But I am encountering two problems: I get an error when using v2.3: AutoIt Error Line -1 Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable This happens when trying to prepare the ~LS Folder.

When booting from USB prepared with 1.1 I can select text setup and everything is fine until message "Starting win2k". Then I get a BlueScreen with errror 7b (inaccessible boot device) Some additional information: I am trying to install on an IDE HDD and I formatted the USB stick with HP tool to NTFS with 1.1. Using the search function I learned about the modified NTDETECT.COM and used it. But this still lead to the BlueScreen. It does not make any difference if I select the USB stick via boot menu or set it up as first boot device in BIOS. Any help would be appreciated.
