any way to install win2k in DOS?

[OneOfTheseDays]

i don't have 4 disks to install win 2k in dos. This sucks, i dont want to have to install win98 then win2k just to install win2k. Any other options for me?

what's wrong with booting off of the win2k cd?

Yeah, kind of sucks that AOL isn't giving away free 3.5" disks anymore.

You can boot into DOS and run /i386/winnt.exe to start Win2k setup. Load SMARTDRV before you run winnt.exe though, otherwise setup will go very slowly.

boot off the win2k cd, that's the easiest way to do it

Yeah, boot to DOS, go to i386\WINNT. And yeah like he said just make sure u load SMARTDRV. The only catch is u can't upgrade Win 98/95/NT4 using WINNT.exe. You must use WINNT32.exe in Windows.
