This appendix includes information on how to slipstream Service Pack 4 with your Windows
2000 distribution media.
To prepare the installation media to meet the Windows Service Pack 4 pre-requisite:
1. Locate an unpartitioned area, and create a partition of 400MB or larger, and format it
NTFS.
Note: Often, there is an unpartitioned area resident on the local CoServer boot disk that
has been reserved for contingencies such as this. Otherwise, you may meet this
disk requirement using a resource on a network that can be mapped to from this
CoServer. In extreme cases, skip the format and prepare the kit at the root of an
existing partition with ample free space.
2. Insert your Windows 2000 installation CD into the local CD-ROM drive.
3. In a cmd window, copy the files from the Windows distribution CD.
For example:
• mkdir Drive:\W2K\i386
• xcopy D:\CDROM_* Drive:\W2K
• xcopy /E D:\i386 Drive:\W2K\i386
Apply the Service Pack update W2ksp4.exe (or higher) to the area you created . You may
have to replace the CD or browse to where the Service Pack is stored on the network.
For example, W2ksp4.exe /S:Drive:\W2K
Note: In the above commands, for Drive: substitute the drive letter of the disk partition
you are using to stage the installation kit. For D: substitute the driver letter of your
installation source media.
