Important
Steps 3 and 4 below are not required; however, they aid in field support
because operating system components can be added and removed in the
field without the need of a CD-ROM drive.
As a performance tip, using the SmartDRIVE DOS utility prior to the
installation of Windows 2000 Professional will greatly reduce the amount
of time spent copying files. The syntax is smartdrv c+.
3. To create a directory on the hard disk that will store the Windows 2000
Professional installation files, type mkdir c:\wininst from a command prompt.
4. To copy the Windows 2000 Professional Installation files from the server to the
hard disk, type copy x:\i386\*.* c:\wininst from a command prompt.
Note:
The Windows 2000 Professional installation files can be found in the
i386 directory of the CD-ROM. These are the only files on the CD that
are required for installation.
5. Download and extract the Ethernet drivers for the SurePOS 700 to a directory
on the same share as the one that is used to store the Windows 2000
Professional files.
6. Create a directory in the root of the hard disk which will store the various
drivers required by the system. Call the directory drivers. Inside the drivers
directory, create a directory for the Ethernet drivers called ethernet.
7. To copy the Ethernet drivers extracted to the network shares in to
c:\drivers\ethernet, type xcopy x:\drivers\*.* c:\drivers\ethernet /s from
the command prompt.
8. Go to c:\wininst on the hard disk.
9. Type winnt. This will launch Windows 2000 Professional Workstation setup.
10. After the file copying portion of setup completes, remove the network boot disk
floppy from the floppy drive and press Enter.
11. The system will reboot in to the second portion of Windows 2000 Professional
setup. The “Welcome to Setup” screen will appear. Press Enter to continue
installing Windows 2000 Professional.
12. The license agreement will appear. Read the agreement by paging down. If
you agree to follow the license agreement, press F8 to continue.
13. A menu will appear which allows the install partition to be chosen. Only one
partition will appear. Press Enter to continue.
14. If conversion to NTFS is desired, you can perform the conversion on the next
screen. If the current file system is sufficient, press Enter to continue.
15. After the file copying procedure has completed, press Enter to restart the
system.
16. The system will reboot in to the graphical portion of Windows 2000
Professional setup. Click Next to continue.
17. The locale settings can be modified on this screen. The default settings should
be sufficient. Click Next to continue.
18. Enter a valid name and the name of your organization. Click Next to continue.
19. Enter the Product ID listed on the Windows 2000 Professional CD case and
click Next to continue.
20. Enter a unique computer name.
