You could look around this site, my site or many others.  Take your pick.  As to making it boot just like a retail version... not without the original dat file.  Good news though, so far all W2K systems use the same dat files so you may get away with it.  Auto-insert the serial by checking the how-to section at the main page here.  Click the logo on top of this page.
