Close but no cigar!!! I installed the files useing your GUI and the QMEU to test it. I got to the partition screen ( now I know what that looks like, very slick) It ask me to make a partition to install W2k. There was not enough room on the stick to do that. I think the problem is with the Toshiba USB drive, When I tried to run the QEMU with it I got a DOS window saying that NTLDR was missing, and no gldr. Mike

I think we have a failure to communicate. I guess the QMEU did not start because I did not see any partitions screen or BSOD. I only saw the log that I sent to you. I have not modified the WinSetupFromUSB folders. Mike

HI I am back again, I am useing an internal SATA HD. The BIOS is set for SATA, I don't know if this is what you mean. In the device manager the driver is 5.1.2535.0 dated 2001-07-01. This is pre WinXp. so it should be in SP4 for Win2k. I am attaching the QMEU log. The BSOD error code that I am getting is 0x7b, inaccesssible_boot_device. I hope this helps, Mike QMEU LOG.zip

Seems good. Now format the USB stick and us the program to place this source, with the modified txtsetup.sif in it. Please report how it goes. Good Evenimg; I used the source with the file that I sent to you. I got the BSOD again. I am enclosing the Boot log with the boot drive build and the the failed install. If you need somthing else let me know. Mike WinSetupFromUSB.zip

SP4 is the first one, which one is second of the two? What duplicated files? You have duplicated sections in a single file which you need to merge so the application properly would recognize your source is windows 2000.Lets start from a scratch. 1) Slipstream SP4 2) zip and attach txtsetup.sif from the source. I will check it and correct it if needed. 3) Wait for my answer and use again WinSetupFromUSB to reformat the USB stick and prepare it with the modified source. Good afternoon; Did I send you this file before? Just in case I forgot here it is again, Mike txtsetup.sif.zip

Hello again, This is what I did I slipstreamed the win2k professional disk with the SP4 that I downloaded from Microsoft. Nlite is suppose to intergrate the two. Wich I assumed would remove all duplicate files. I checked that by looking on the stick at the txtsetup.sif file. It was reduced to one page and only one set of strings. Where did I go wrong.Thanks for the help, Mike

Hi, I used nlite to intergrate the two files. Now I get a BSOD. Checked the new textsetup.sif it is only one page and only one set of strings. The first line in strings read: wkscd ="Windows 2000 Professional CD". I added another line above it: wks_id ="Windows 2000 Professional", that did not help still got BSOD. Mike

This post was incorrect sorry, Mike

Thanks for your reply, I could find no way to compress the .SIF file. MikeWinSetupFromUSB.7zTXTSETUP.SIF

Good morning, I am useing this program to install win2k on a toshiba 320 Gig. Usb drive. The computer that I am installing from O.S. is winxp. It Completes the transfer to usb drive. I boot from the usb drive and everything gets expanded. Then I get A message that The file usbohci.sys is missing. I have checked and the string wks-id ="microsoft windows 2000 professional" is in i386/txtsetup.sif file. Any help would be appreciated, Mike

Hi my name is Mike, I trying to install win 2000 on a toshiba 2.5" usb drive. I started with winfromusb ver. 0.2.3 and got the error: line-1 Error subscript used with non array variable. I then tried using older versions, 1.1 was the first that worked?? It completed then a window told me to reboot from my usb drive 3 times. The usb drive booted then a green GUI came up and said that first and second parts had been found then a second later it told me that they had not been found. Then the win 2000 setup window opened and installed all of the external drivers. When that completed the BSOD came up and the first line said inaccessible-boot-device. Any help would be appreciated, Mike
