I would reccomend XP SP2 over Win2k, and any other operating system over Windows, but if you're already decided on Win2k:\n\n0.  Download your network drivers from the manufacturer's web site and save them to a floppy disk before you do anything.\n1.  Insert Win2k Installation CD\n2.  Boot off install CD\n3.  When installer asks what partition to install on, delete your current partition and then define a new partition to install Win2k on.  This is your opportunity to set up multiple partitions if you want to.\n4.  The Windows installer will then format your hard drive for you and install the basic OS installation files.  This takes a while; go get some coffee.  It will eventually ask you to reboot, after which it will finish the install in the  fancy Windows GUI.\n5.  Reboot again, insert the network floppy, and install your network drivers.\n6.  Hop online again, download and install the rest of your drivers, your browser of choice, etc.  Try not to install so much virus-ridden warez and porn this time.  ;-)

That is a very good question.  I really don't think there is any way you can make customized changes.  Only special drives are added when they are plugged in to y our computer. \nHowever, I am going to research the 'Help and Support' section that comes with my computer.  Might be worth a try. \nE

First of all you will need:\n1)Your Windows disc\n2)The service pack of your choice (SP1 or SP2)\n3)A little patience...\n\nNow first you have to copy the contents of the disc itself...create a folder called XP-(whatever one you want..ie..SP1 or SP2)\n\n1)Before copying the XP CD make sure that the system is set to display all hidden and system files to ensure a complete copy of all files on the CD. The settings to control what files are visible are located in Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View tab. Make sure [Show hidden files and folders] radio button is selected and [Hide protected operating system files] is unchecked....\n2)The next step is to find where you downloaded the Service pack file.\nIf you download it from Microsoft...it'll be named WindowsXP-K(something)-SP(whatever)-ENU(english).exe\n3)Navigate to the folder called XP-(what you named it) and copy the service pack there.\n4)Use start>run to get the dialog box at the bottom left and in the box type\n"C:&#92;XP-(Sp1 or Sp2)&#92;(the name of the service pack..example [WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe] -x"\n5)By now a prompt has come up asking where you want to save the extraction. (you can use the same location)\n6)Now you need to add the extracted service pack to the windows file by using the dialog box again and typing "C:&#92;XP-SP2&#92;i386&#92;Update&#92;Update.exe -S:C:&#92;XP"\n7)From here you will see the Service Pack being joined with the windows files..when it finishes you're almost ready to burn...\n7a)Create a folder called "XP bootimage"...4 later.\n8)Now you have to extract the boot image from your Xp disc...there are numerous applications to use..\nA)ISObuster\nB)Magic ISO\nC)Just about any decent ISO program...but ISObuster is what I use so..\n9)Start Isobuster and click on "Bootable CD" on the left and Right-click the "Microsoft Corporation.img" file and extract it to the folder called "XP bootimage"\n10)Time to burn...turn off everthing else before you start to burn!!!!\n\nStart Nero - Burning Rom.\nSelect File > New... from the menu.\n\n1.) Select CD-ROM (Boot).\n2.) Select Image file from Source of boot image data.\n3.) Check Enable expert settings (for advanced users only!).\n4.) Set Kind of emulation: to No Emulation.\n5.)

(We have had Track-At-Once work as well.)\n- Click the New button.\n\n- Locate the folder C:&#92;OS&#92;ROOT.\n- Select everything in the folder and drag it to the ISO compilation panel.\n- Click the Write CD Dialog button.\n\nClick the Boot tab.\n- Verify the settings.

*****WAIT do not listen to the knuckle heads telling you to reformat*******\nDo a repair installion and enter your legal key.\nYou go through the initial steps as if you were installing XP, at the Windows XP (Professional, or Home) Setup >press ENTER >Windows Xp Licensing Agreement >press F8 >Windows Xp (Professional, or Home) Setup >press R. This will repair your Windows Xp Installation files, and will not affect your programs, data, etc.

I know of a way, but I woult not even bother to tell you that, unless to get points here.\n\nIts very dangerous to mess with those system files. You might screw up the system. It was a little safe with Windows 95/98 and the ME, but now with XP I never tried it but can expect results to be devastating if something goes wrong.\n\nhttp://www.theeldergeek.com/change_text_on_xp_start_button.htm
