How to create a Windows 2000 CD with integrated Servicer Pack 2

Written by Anthony Toste

Important Note: You must have the full package service pack
1. Put in Win2000 CDROM Open Windows Explorer at same time hold down on the shift key for a few minutes make a folder called (Driver Letter):\\win2kcd.

2. Copy all the files from the Windows 2000 CD to (Driver Letter):\\win2kcd on to your HD.

3. Make a folder called (Driver Letter):\\win2ksp2

4. Open Notepad add the line "w2ksp2 -x" without quotes, then save as unpack.bat it must be in the same place where w2ksp2.exe is then run unpack.bat and extract to the (Driver Letter):\\win2ksp2 folder.

5. Open Notepad add the line "update.exe -s:(Driver Letter):\\win2kcd" without quotes, then save as update.bat in (Driver Letter):\\sp2\\i386\\update directory where you extracted SP2 at.
What update.exe looks for is the i386 directory. So change the (Driver Letter):\\ to reflect the drive that has the i386 directory from the Windows 2000 CD. (win2k) is just the directory where the i386 directory resides.

6. Go to the (Driver Letter):\\sp2\\i386\\update directory and run update.bat.
It should update your files and it will tell you when it is done.
If it doesn't then you have done something wrong.

7. Download CDRWIN from www.goldenhawk.com

8. You to get the CD-ROM boot sector from here: win2kboot.zip

9. Make a folder called (Driver Letter):\\win2kboot & (Driver Letter):\\win2kiso extracted boot.bin out of win2kboot.zip copy or move it to (Driver Letter):\\win2kboot\\

10. Check The (Driver Letter):\\win2kcd\\ root it should have these files already there: autorun.inf


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should have one follow files
cdrom_ip.5 - If you are doing 2000 PRO then place this into the root.
cdrom_is.5 - If you are doing 2000 SERVER then place this into the root.
cdrom_ia.5 - If you are doing 2000 ADVANCED SERVER then place this into the root.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cdrom_nt.5
cdromsp2.tst
read1st.txt

spnotes.htm
If all files are not there you need start all over.

This also good time add any other newer device drivers to it before you make the image of it, "(Driver Letter):\\win2kcd\\drivers\\?\\" give each set driver there own folder" that way you can install with out redownload or hunting for the CD later on. You may want to do the same with newer applications like Windows Media Player, IE5.5sp1 update thing like that "(Driver Letter):\\win2kcd\\apps\\?\\". Be sure to keep on the space you use win doing this that will depend on CD you have 650 or 700MB, how ever if you need more space then you can del a few folder from (Driver Letter):\\win2kcd\\ "BOOTDISK, DISCOVER, SUPPORT, VALUEADD".
