OP
Thank Guys..
 
That is great news!
 
By the way, if by chance any of you know how to run Windows 2000 SP2 Installation and Win2000 Installation @ the same time.
 
Please do tell. I mean to say, if I dont want to install Service Pack Later and want it to be integrated into Windows 2000 Setup.
 
Thank for help.

u basically want a verion of win 2k with sp 2 built in, i know there are a few verisons of win 2k SP1 floating around, but the SP 2 is not done yet so it wiil not be around for a bit, to me it is pointless anyways since every new SP they come out with should included all previous SP packs? do they not?

the way to make a SP2 CD is the same way as making a SP1 CD. No difference, as long as you patch the original I386 files with the ones from the SP then your fine.

yes but can anyone do this with an upgrad CD. I can do it with and OEM but not an upgrade. I suppose it might not be possible, but what if.

Or is there a hack that will allow me to use a full CD with the key from my upgrade. It would be nice since it is my legal registered copy.

there are ways to do it using certain files that alter the setup process in some ways. you just have to look around for them.

Accord2K1,
No, as with WinNT all Service Packs contain all of the patches from previous ones.
IE. SP2 will contain all the fixes from SP1 along with the new ones from SP2.
