Hi all,
I've tried to install Windows 2000 on my Fujitsu Siemens C1410 having SATA disk 80 GB and the installation failed. I was wondering what it was but finally I understood that this must be due to new SATA disk inside. Also older XPPro version failed during the installation (only OEM version is installable).
My question is if I can install WIndows 2000 at all by adding for example some files to the original Installation disk of Windows 2000?
