WARNING....the bootdisk for W2K from Bootdisk.com may be bad.....

There is a file called 'setupreg.hiv' in #2 disk out of 4 disks which may be corrupt. The best way to solve this is to copy 'setupreg.hiv' from the Windows 2000 CD onto the floppy disk.

Just thought you might want to know. 😎

Just create them yourself from the cd.

To create boot disks,

From the Windows 2000 help file.............



<< To create setup disks

Insert a blank, formatted, 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB disk into the floppy disk drive.
Insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type d:\bootdisk\makeboot a: (where d: is the drive letter assigned to your CD-ROM drive), and then click OK.
Follow the screen prompts.
Important

You will need four blank, formatted, 3.5-inch, 1.44-MB floppy disks. Label them Setup Disk One, Setup Disk Two, Setup Disk Three, and Setup Disk Four.
Note

You can create the setup disks from a computer running any version of Windows or MS-DOS. >>

hmmm...i used the win2K bootdisk from bootdisk.com
about 1 month ago.
I didn't encounter any problem, but not sure
if they have changed them since then.

FYI, that setupreg.hiv file contrals whether an install is eval or full retail. Or so I've heard! 😱
