Windows 2000 uncompression!!!

alancardoso
I've have been trying to uncompress windows 2000, but I can't do it sucessfully as there are several system files (most in /system32) which are being used by windows, so they can't be uncompressed. I've tried booting in safe mode, but the same files are still being used.

foxman98

sharing with older Windows'

vf
I have a Win98/2000 network here, but the Win98 do not see any shares on the 2000 workstations. Is there a trick to make them give access to those? Allowed Users in the 2000 share is everyone with Full Control, Change, Read enabled, should be enough, or? I testwise also enabled the Guest account, didn't help.
