Question & Problem with Win2K Pro

[IgoByte]

Where do I download the most recent version of the Win2000Pro service pack?

And a problem with Win2K...

Whenever I restart Win2K, I get a message saying that the ntoskernel.exe file cannot be found, and that I need to repair or reinstall the OS.
Why does this happen and how do I fix it?
When I shut it down and start from scratch, I have no such problem and I also see that the file is actually in the system32 folder.

Do I perhaps have any compatibility issues?

System:
- Antec 300W PSU
- IWILL DVD 266-R
- 2 x PIII1000EB with APLHA PALs
- Quadro 2 Pro 64MB DRR
- 4 x 60GB IBM 60GXPs, striped in single array using Promise FastTrak 100 PCI card
- 4 x 256MB PC2100 Crucial

Please someone help me out with this. It's really annoying, as was the installation of Win2K. It froze on me several times and I just had to retry countless times until it finally finished.

Hi,
First, nice rig. No, you do not have compatibility issues. To fix an install, boot the PC with either the win2K cd or the bootdisks. There will be an option to repair the install. This should fix your problems. As for the win2K SP2, just search for it here.
As Always,

Thanks...

I'm actually downloading the SP2 as I'm typing, but the PC is really going crazy on me...
No boot floppies came with my copy of Win2K, so I'll need to boot from the CD. Tell me something...Is it at all possible to actually do a completely clean install of Win2K. I mean I would actually like to format the drive and do a complete clean install.

Yes. If u boot from CD you have the same options as you would from fdisk or any partition manager.
