    Windows 2000 and XP had a similar experience, but XP did improve compatibility a little in comparison. I have installed so many computers with both and it was always an uphill battle with newer computers for the first time. However, if you can get a custom rebuilt installer with the patches it makes your life so much easier most of the time. Now if you wanted to install onto an NVMe, you might be out of luck unless you could get a NVMe SCSI emulation driver for it.

    The newest I was able to get it on using only the Extended Kernel was some C2D Vista laptop that I found for $75 on local marketplace after scrolling past a sea of 7 ones running on a Pentium which wouldn’t have worked as easily. Had to install a SpeedStep applet and set the process multiplexer so it would function on the 2 Duo cores. Pretty interesting seeing it pushed to the max here, wonder if it’d be more practical to find Xeon hardware of an equivalent spec since they’re server-grade solutions but go out-of-service rapidly quickly

      We should push it to the limit while CSM is still an option. It will last maybe a few more years. Around 2030 if you want to pull a video like this you'll have to buy an industrial motherboard to be able to boot straight into DOS on real hardware. Last night a I was able to get NT 3.51 from 1995 running with multi-CPU support on this Intel 13th Gen configuration. Unlike Windows 2000 and NT there were no licensing limitations - so it detected 4 CPUs...

    Great information, it's good that people have managed to do this. These days it's probably too much hassle for me to get it working on modern hardware, I'm too lazy, but I might dig out an old P4 system and and install it on that instead. It's weird, but in places, your voice is so high pitched that it has a similar affect on me as someone scraping their fingernails on a blackboard. No offence intended. 😉

      Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts! Digging out a P4 system sounds cool to me, the older hardware just has its own charm that modern systems can't replace. Anyway, I like to mix them, as we speak I'm installing Windows ME on a Intel 14th Gen CPU and it works! Also I have a 386 motherboard on my desk. As for my voice, no offense taken! The good news is that I'm improving with every video, and I like to think it's becoming a unique part of my style over time. I hope you'll stick around to see (and hear!) the progress. 🙂

    is there any way to use port 60/64 emulation on windows 2000. because it's just works before windows stats to boot. because the usb controlled that you sent me isn't available for my region

    • @O_mores
      @O_mores  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Port 60/64 emulation in Windows 2000 can be tricky because it’s primarily designed to work before the OS boots, mainly for USB keyboards and mice in legacy BIOS setups. Unfortunately, after the OS boots, it tends to rely on drivers, and USB controllers compatible with Windows 2000 can be hard to find today. You might need to look for specialized third-party software or try a PS/2-to-USB adapter, as some adapters emulate the port directly. Also, check your BIOS settings to ensure legacy USB support is fully enabled for keyboard and mouse emulation.

      Microsoft was always a step ahead when it comes to unattended installations. When Windows 2000 was at its peak MS had like 90% market share and Windows had to be installed monthly on millions and millions of computers. And this was not reserved only for business, you can install Windows 9x using PXE.

    Omores, how did you get Windows 2000 to use Turbo frequencies on the CPU? My install of Windows 2000 SP 4 running on an Ivy Bridge CPU seems to lock on the Base frequency and never seems to Turbo. Thanks.

    • @O_mores
      @O_mores  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hi William, I didn't...! Turbo Boost typically relies on ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) support to function correctly. Windows 2000 has very limited ACPI support, and it predates Intel's Turbo Boost technology by several years, so it doesn’t natively manage Turbo frequencies on modern CPUs. To get around this, you can try enabling ACPI manually during installation, or by updating the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) to the "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" or "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" model, depending on your CPU. This can enable basic power management features but won't work at all on modern motherboards - maybe on those released up to 2010-2012. However, even with ACPI enabled, Windows 2000 still doesn’t have built-in support for the power states (P-states) required to activate Turbo Boost on CPUs like the Ivy Bridge you have.

I wonder if the Asus board I'm using isn't quite compatible.

      Hi, at 10:50 is the way I installed UniATA... This is how you are supposed to do it. The other way is to locate your unrecognized SATA controller and install the driver manually with "Have disk" method... The fist method is better from a compatibility standpoint. Just try to install Windows 2000 from a DOS bootable partition, the DOS part will work for sure and will create a dual boot menu for you. Now you can dump all the files I gave you on C: you and Windows 2000 it should start.

      PCI-E to PS/2 adapters are in fact USB cards with a PS/2 to USB converter inside. They don't work in DOS, Windows 3.11, 95, NT since the operating system won't recognize the USB chip . Newer operating system are recognizing the USB chip and your PS/2 keyboard or mouse will be treated as a USB input device. VIA VL805 is an USB 3 chip, not great for legacy operating systems... You can try to integrate drivers with nLite. Might work since VIA claims that this adapter has `USB legacy support`, whatever that means. To be sure 100% you need a PCI-E to *USB 2.0* card which is recognized automatically in Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista and newer. I use this card: www.startech.com/en-eu/cards-adapters/pexusb4dp

      Well, you can, but for some reason you're drive won't be discovered on a modern motherboard. I was able to see my old PCI to SATA adapter with UniATA during the install. So... I suspect you have to get the hardware ID from your SATA controller and insert it in the UniATA driver .INF file. Otherwise it looks UniATA can't act as a universal SATA(AHCI) driver during the install phase. You might want to check this recent Windows 2K video: th-cam.com/video/f2grGf2rTV8/w-d-xo.html

      I had a beta copy of Windows 2000 in 1998 but my PC had only 16MB of RAM so I didn't even bother then, but I did try it in 1999 when I upgraded to 64MB. Win2K remained installed on my secondary IDE drive, but I didn't use it that much at the time, since my PC was about gaming and not business...

      Windows 2000 arrived when I was 15, so as long as you consider that still childhood, then I can confirm there was at least one of us! I used it on my main machine for many years into the XP era, when gaming support fell away due to lack of newer DirectX/3D support. Definitely strong nostaliga vibes. I ran it a few years later (maybe 2003-2004), when my (newer) main machine failed for some reason. I cobbled together an old P2 233 with 128MB of ram, and that ran Windows 2000 as a Web/Torrenting/Whatever machine really well, while it struggled on XP. Win 2K is firmly cemented in my memories of my teenage years as a great OS.

      As a kid/teenager geek, win2k was the best OS I used from the 3.11/95/98 era. It was so fast and so stable. But I remember that a lot of programs needed winXP instead of win2k to work. That's the only reason I left win2k in favor of XP. But hey we were in an era that we did not NEED to have internet access to use a computer. Programs were not downloaded but installed from floppys or CDs bought at the store.

    i thought ur guides were cool so i tried to follow them to make a modern parts pc but the recommended motherboard u use has been impossible to get working and ofc asus tech support is like duh whats a computer. i have never had a mobo just totally fail to work like this one (tried 2 diff boards, both same model as urs) and i wonder if the manual even has correct information in it, it's that bad

      Tell me where you get stuck and I can help you. I just installed NT 4 with multiprocessor support on this motherboard. I use 09/2023 BIOS: i.imgur.com/B9dI3sx.png. What OS do you want to install?

      i wish i even got that far in the process, i cant even get the motherboard to boot. i tried two different psu and i just get a red led light on the motherboard when the psu switch is on, the led lasts a few seconds then turns off, it is right next to the nuvoton chip. the power switch wont boot the board and not even shorting the power on/off pins with a jumper works. 2 different psu, 2 different motherboards, two different cpus, two different sticks of ram, same problem always@@O_mores

    I'm running windows 2000 datacenter on an 8 core processor with 16 gigs of dedicated ram.

      Thanks for sharing, but it's worth noting that Windows 2000 Workstation and Windows 2000 Datacenter are designed for very different purposes. Workstation was optimized for personal productivity, with limitations in terms of scalability and resource allocation.

      @@O_mores And datacenter was a thousand dollar os that supports up to 32 cores and is still capable of being a modern workhorse..
      Thanks for elucidating but it's worth noting my opinion remains the same. This video is super lame.

      That would be something, but I don't think it's exactly "the most"... Maybe just regular squeaky... :)
