I've seached the internet and these forums, with no luck. I'm using a bootable nLite-made cd-rom of 2000 pro on an old P1 machine. The machine's BIOS isn't capable of booting from cd-rom, and I can't figure out how to manually disable the free disk space and minimum RAM checks during a manual DOS install. Nlite does this automatically if the machine can boot from cd (I checked those options in the nlite program). As far as I can tell, there are no command line switches to do this. How does nlite do it?

I can't upgrade the hard drive, because the BIOS will not accept 1gb+ drives. The 2000 install is under 300mb and the hard drive is 640mb, so I know it will work, even with the temp files it writes during setup. If I can just disable those checks, I'll be good to go!

Any direction or info will be appreciated.

Thanks!

John

take a look at the [setupData] and [DiskSpaceRequirements] sections in txtsetup.sif, sounds like there're the values you've been looking for
