Win 2000 in AIO-DVD

[Orsi]

hey there, I'm building my AIO-DVD with Server 2003, XP Pro and 2000. And except for the 2000 setup, everything's perfect.

When I try to install Windows 2000 Professional, at the beggining of the Setup it asks me for Service Pack 4 CD-ROM.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong since I've followed the guide. The only thing I didn't do was to copy the file spnotes.htm to the AIO-DVD folder.

Does anybody has a solution or some trick to solve this?

PS - I've used the method 4 to create the boot folder (2PRO)

tks guys

Have a look at my directories & compare this works for me?

I Made a DVD like that make sure you have the SP4 Id file in the root of the CD

[Alanoll]

yes, make sure you copy the ident files from the 2k folder to your DVD root, and you mgiht as well copy over spnotes.html as well, I think 2k likes it but not sure.

I'm in the same boat, keeps prompting me to insert sp4

My structure is the same as mavericks choice, not sure what i'm missing

I copied the whole cd to hard drive then, slipstreamed sp 4, which said was successful, ran through winnt32.exe, changed $WIN_NT$.~BT to 2PRO

and deleted $WIN_NT$.~LS (no info that it needs to be kept) and hex edited the required files, all ok so far. When I make the ISO, it boots, starts the install

then prompts for sp4 disk

I did the exact same for XP pro slipstreamed sp1, works great

win 98 works as well, and all the dos utilities I added, ghost, partition magic and a few others, I must have made 25 images so far with the same result, any ideas?

What am I missing?

[z1ggz]

Ok now i'm really confused...

I got Windows 2000 to work but, I copied The entire 1386 folder from

D:\AIO-DVD\SETUP\2000\PROFESSIONAL and copied it to D:\AIO-DVD\2PRO

so some where its pointing to D:\AIO-DVD\2PRO Which i think is why it couldnt find

the files before, maybe in the setupltr.bin file?

[z1ggz]

Sorry forgot to add something

when I make the iso file with cd image i get

WARNING: These two files are identical for the first 65536 bytes, but differ

at some point beyond that. This could be intentional, but it might indicate

that one of these two source files is corrupt:

D:\AIO-DVD\PRO1\SETUPLDR.BIN

D:\AIO-DVD\SETUP\XP\PROFESSIONAL\I386\SETUPLDR.BIN

Which is ok because win xp works.... shouldnt i get the same for win 2000 exept in there respective directories?

[Alanoll]

yes.

make sure you're also editing TXTSETUP.SIF to reflect it's new path.

AND make sure you copy the IDENT files, that are in the root of your Win2K folder.

[z1ggz]

Think I got it

SetupSourcePath = "\SETUP\2000\Professional\" in txtsetup.sif which should be looking for setup files..

I found 3 IDENT files, TRIDENT.SY_ , MSIDENT.DL_ and IDENT.HL_

Hopefully these are correct, There the only ones with IDENT

Thanks for the help

[Alanoll]

umm...by IDENT i didn't mean ones containing the phress IDENT.

I meant the files at the root of your slipstreamed W2K folder.

CDROM_NT.5

CDROM_IP.5

CDROMSP4.TST

README.DOC

READ1ST.TXT

[z1ggz]

oh ok

I know what i did wrong now, I copied all the files except CDROMSP4.TST

The first time....WOW alot of trouble for a 0 byte file with nothing iin it.

Just to test i removed the CDROMSP4.TST, made an image and the the " please insert your service pack 4 cd into drive A: ' lol, odd error CD= Drive A:

*shrug* oh well i know where therror came from now

Thanks again works GREAT!!

Now i just gotta think of more things to add

I noticed on http://flyakite.msfnhosting.com/ under Win2000 sp4 section that

The file CDROMSP4.TST is'nt listed

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finishing Up

Navigate to your setup folder \AIO-DVD\SETUP\2000\Professional\ and copy (not move) the following files into the root folder, AIO-DVD.

readme.doc

spnotes.htm

cdrom_nt.5

cdrom_is.5 (2000 Server only)

cdrom_ia.5 (2000 Advance Server only)

cdrom_ip.5 (2000 Professional only)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe something to add, seems important.

I got this sort of error with xp the other day, when making my AIO cd. i found that it was the -d command i was passing to cdimage.exe (The command to make it not rename all files to caps).. Just pay around with the command line options of cdimage if it dont work after putting the IDENT files in the root.

Hope it helps.

Chris.

adding the CDROMSP4.TST seems to work,

Thanks

Also, does anyone know if adding hotfixes to winxp is the same as in windows xp?

[Alanoll]

ummm...

Also, does anyone know if adding hotfixes to winxp is the same as in windows xp?

well, considering they are the same operating system, should be fine.

If you meant Win2K. Most are the same, but a few needs to be like the Advanced Networking Pack. It may be easier to use XPCreate. 2K can be used as the source, and if you put the 2K hotfixes in the right spot, it works just the same.

[z1ggz]

haha oops

yes thats what i meant

For windows 2000 can i use :

[setupHotfixesToRun]

KB123456.exe /Q /Z /N

KB13579.exe /Q /Z /N

Qchain.exe

In my svcpack.inf file

Still learning, Got win xp working great....now on to win2000

Thanks for the help
