BTW, I use Windows7.Įdited by brapster, 03 November 2010 - 10:16 AM. I am currently trying to make my USB bootable using a freeware called "UNetbootin" (dled it from sourgeforge) and hopefully it works.īut, what I want to know is how make a USB bootable for installing WIN2Kx using the command line interface. The rest of the methods are offshoots of these two methods. Another method involved using a freeware which the author claimed was very successful. Talk about using the bootsect.exe /nt52 command, which did not work. There are ways to install Windows XP/VISTA/7 out there, and I have used them, but I can't find a way to install W2Kx. Programmers are either not taught about Occam's razor or they forgot about it the following day.I have been trying to install Windows 2003 from my USB pen drive and have been unsuccessful so far. To get help on the winnt32.exe command use the /? switch:

The setup program will automatically add the Windows 2000 installation to the boot.ini file and you will be presented with a dual boot menu when the computer boots up. After the files are copied the computer will rebootĪnd you will be able to cleanly install Windows 2000 on the partition of your choice. Pay attention to the location of the Setup files in the default setup options (Advanced Options). Where X is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive, the setup program will then prompt you through the rest. To copy the Windows 2000 setup files and launch the setup program use the /makelocalsource switch, launch the command at a Command Prompt: After Windows 2000 is installed you can just copy the XP verision of the files back to theirĬ:\ location, you will then be able to boot both operating systems. The Windows 2000 version of the files cannot boot the newer Windows XP operating system, the Windows XP version can boot the older Windows 2000. When Windows 2000 installs itself it will replace the Windows XP version of these system files with its ownĮarlier version. Copy all of the files from your Windows 95 CD to the WIN95 folder on your USB drive. Make a new folder on your USB drive called, 'WIN95'. Before you begin make a backup copy of the system files ntldr and NTDETECT.COM, these files are in the root of the System drive, (usually C:\). Insert your Windows 95 CD into your computer.
