Peter,
I wasn't planning to go to XP but found when I
loaded W2000 from my original CD that the
service packs are no longer available!
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/
That's what forced my hand - and bled $270 from
my bank account for the upgrade pack!
Oops.
Best thing to do to avoid this situation in the
future is to download all the relevant service
packs now, then either burn them to a DVD or
stick them on your server. That way you don't
have to worry about this any more (or spend time
downloading everything again when you rebuild a machine).
I am getting messages half way through the
installation that says the software isn't
digitally signed and then it aborts the installation!
Are you clicking "Continue anyway" at that
prompt (IIRC it's the button on the left)? It's
not the default option, Windows will try pretty
hard to stop you installing hardware if the
manufacturer hasn't had it certified.
Cheers
Jon
