Help!!!
I have got my multiboot DVD almost complete, but I am running into an issue with 2000 Server and Pro.
My set up files are from the select edition versions with SP3 pre applied.
I am using Bootdisks created from those CD's but for some reason when I choose to install the OS I am prompted for the SP3 CD.
I have no idea why b/c SP3 is integrated by MS into the CD.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!

I had this prob, what you need to do is copy the files that are in the root of the windows 2000 cd, that is the main dir, not the i386, and place them in the root of the DVD, the files are:

cdrom_nt.5 
cdrom_is.5 (2000 Server only) 
cdrom_ia.5 (2000 Advance Server only) 
cdrom_ip.5 (2000 Professional only)


just copy all the stand alone files, not the DIRs and EXEs to be sure, and overwrite any if neccessary

here is what your DVD root should look like.

FILES FROM 2000 ROOT DIR NOT FOLDERS (- exes)

OTHER FILES

DIRS

That worked. Thanks!
Still have one issue.
Windows 2000 Pro loads and when setup begins it blue screens with a PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED blue screen.
It happens in both the VM session and on an actual DVD in a new machine.
2000 Server works fine.
Thanks everyone!
