I know, I know, kinda OT, but I had this posted in Operating Systems for a few days and got only 2 replys. Neither of which helped. I own W2K Adv. Server and my bud gave me a copy of W2K Pro to play with. I want to install it on a second rig that I have that has a formated HD. But the disc with W2K Pro on it will not boot up the system to install the OS. Don't wag yer finger at me, I know the copy of w2k pro is not kosher, but I'm just playing with it.
So, what can i use or copy from my adv. server disc that will make a bootable w2k pro disc? What files do I need? Any ideas? Thanks,
j

Simply putting "OT" in the thread title and admitting it in the post does not make it OK to post in GH you know....
