Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / December 2005New install Win2k
I have licensed original Win2k pro SP1. Want to reinstall OS on laptop. My plan is to reforrmat C, reinstall Win2K SP1 then install SP4 which I have downloaded. My understanding is that SP4 on top of SP1 negates the need for SP2 or SP3. Is that correct? I also understand that recently MS bundled all of the post SP4 fixes into a unified update (but not a SP). Where is that located so I can download it as a single large file or CD image. I don't want to uses the live update feature because when I am finished I would like to have 3 CD's. One my original MS CD and the other a CD containing SP4 and whatever this latest combo update since SP4 came out. The reason for this is to have the ability to rebuild the system to at least this point when MS has stopped providing updates for Win2K. Thank you for any advice in advance Howard Hi; The item you want is named "Update Rollup 1 for Windows 2000 SP4" and can be downloaded from this site: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=C0A2CA36-1179-431C-80E6 -60A494D3823D&displaylang=en And you are correct; you won't need any earlier service packs when installing SP4.

Sorry to report that the rollup is not available except thru the "Genuine Advantage" screener. Strange I thought that MS made all security and critical updates available without that GA tracking stuff???????????? Guess that's not so. ?????? And while I'm writing this what ia the exact data that GA tries to get anyway?? How do we track what it GA is doing???

Here's a FAQ for the GA validation, including one that lists what info is gathered: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/downloads/FAQ.aspx?displaylang=en Signature...Sky Tom "Sky" King ============= > Sorry to report that the rollup is not available except thru the > "Genuine Advantage" screener. ....... > And while I'm writing this what ia the exact data that GA tries to get > anyway??
