Bill, I pointed Harry to a Win2000 folder I put on Dropbox that
seemed to be the one you recommended, entitled
"Windows-2000-SP4-Final-2011-Edition_(all-updates)" -- I grabbed
this file months ago on your suggestion, I believe, and I also
picked up another ISO seemed legit online and that I have used. I just ran the setup for Windows-2000-SP4-Final-2011-Edition_(all-updates) (the ISO is W2K-2011.iso) on my machine, in Virtualbox, and all appears fine, using a host-only network adapter and a PS/2 mouse. (Those were the only default settings I altered besides choosing to use a disk of fixed size.) There is an opportunity to register after setup is complete, but you can click thru that and never see it again so far as I can tell. I did encounter a slow reboot the first time, but after that things run fast and smooth. Didn't bother completing the setup beyond that -- I merely wanted to verify that things did work. Initial setup less than 20 mins. So things look fine at my end, anyway. The other ISO, which I also have used successfully without issues and used XyWrite on, does ask for a product key (which for installation ease I added to the ISO's name). I don't think there should be any problems with that ISO, if Harry grabbed that one instead. Paul Lagasse On 07/26/2014 04:56 PM, Bill Troop

Harry, I'd like to know what file you were trying to work with, so as to be able not to recommend it. The file I recommend does not require a serial and has no viruses. I would not have recommended it so enthusiastically if there had been such a problem. Sorry to hear that you have had so many difficulties. For me, from downloading the ISO to running XyWrite took about 20 minutes and there just weren't any problems. |
