Strange problem trying to install Windows 2000
« on: April 27, 2002, 01:53:26 AM »
Hello, all. Sorry for the waste of space, but...

I recently made a new bootable Win2k cd-rom (love the guide on this site!), off of the files from my original CD (which I left back in the US >_<) that I had thankfully put on my laptop before I came to Japan.

I\'m now trying to install Win2k over WinXP on my new laptop, using the boot CD... but...

It boots up, starts set up, but when I go to actually continue, it says, \"Setup cannot find the End User Licensing Agreement (EULA).\"

I checked my files, and it\'s in there, so I have NO idea what to do. Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Dunno if this might work but have you tried to run setup in unattended mode?
As far as I\'m aware it skips the eula agreement

Check txtsetup.sif in the i386 directory.  Verify the following: setupsourcepath = \"\"

Use a startup file (winnt.sif on a floppy). Put the command  OemSkipEula=Yes in the [Unattended] section.
