i searched the win2k forum for this "feature" of win2k but i didnt turn anything up?
i boot from the win2k CD & select my drive/partition i want it on(40gig western digital NTFS) it checks the drive out and then tries to copy all those DDLs and sys files well at anywhere from 20% to 60% it will say "unable to copy x file" and i can either skip or retry.
ive tried installing from an acer 56xMax drive & an acer CD-RW both do fine entill the above happens.
(also tried 2 diff win2k CDs)
so i got tired of that (real fast) and just skipped whatever came up(something important i assume=).
but it ran ok and i was able to get to the windows update site & get "all" the stuff, the second thing i updated was service pack2 well it was DLed into a temp folder on my D drive(30gig western digital) and told me it could NOT find the KERNAL witch was suppose to be in this temp folder on my 2nd hardrive! so the comp is dead again... i dont know if im more pissed at it not installing right or it not putting the right files in its own temp directory!
i checked all my connections & stuff... only thing left is to change the IDE cable but since windows is the only thing that has a prob with it(i installed DX8, my Vcard drivers & some stuff off my mobo CD before i did win update) changing the IDE cable will not help.?.
am i doomed to learn linux & wear linux t-shirts? JK =P
(all that stuff i said i installed before win update was off a CD that i backed up on before i tried upgrading & intalling win2k this time around)
