Again, I choose Windows 2000 for educational purposes not for general usage.

I choose IT over XP because it was older. Just prefer 2000 and below.

Holy sh*t I made a statement that I flat out say was my opinion that I think its stupid to unsupport OS. No where did I call anyone stupid.

People act like I gave you the finger or something.

It isn't a price issue. I have an extra computer I figured I would use for educational purposes. And the WPA2 thing. Completely didn't think of that.

I am not disrespecting him, I am just not positive towards ending support.

Then I think.

Not much else caaan really be done for 2000 at this point anyway other then some Sata drivers.

And maybe wireless drivers, though I believe it isn't the driver but that Windows 2000 didn't come with a wireless internet client. Guess Ill have to find that out eventually.

Its not a waste. The link I gave about the unofficial service pack 5.2 was to show there is still a community of people using windows 2000.

Cutting off support for those people seems unneeded and plain stupid to me.

Now if techdud was needed for someplace else or he had to delay other things to do this then It probably would be a waste of time, otherwise if it was his free time, i would say time well spent and much knowledge gained.

2000 is not dead.

And Windows XP has a massive popularity I am sure the above could or happen to it.

Of course support will end and the general masses will finally stop clinging to it.

Its alright if the driver can't be found. Its something I can live without. But disregarding thaaat it shows we are missing sata drivers for 2000 or something.

Alright, I already burned a clean copy of windows 2000 sp4. I assumed sp4 for some reason had the sata drivers.

I was wrong.

Regardless I have a working ISO.

But no my notebook is too modern to have a floppy drive.
I don't even own a floppy disk anymore.

To further irritate you. I can't find any of that in the txtsetup.oem.

Might be faster if you just uploaded the edited driver. Though if you prefer I am open to learning this.

First does that tool need to be used on the computer I am installing Windows 2000 on? Because there isn't an OS on it.

Second I am not using XP hence the title, and it fails when it doesn't see my HDD..
