How to install Windows 2000 Server in x61

I got a new x61 model:7673-B93, and need to install Windows 2000 server in it,
but failed.
Can anyone tell me if I can do this?
Thanks

SATA must be set to compatibility mode before any version of 2003 will see a SATA HDD, including 2003 R2 x86/x64 SP1/SP2.   i've installed 2003 EE x86 R2 SP1 on my X61 before and can confirm that 2003 can see the drive in compatibility mode.

    Windows 2000 has been largely abandoned (and with VERY GOOD reason) why on earth would you want to install that outdated unstable OS?  It's plagued with security issues bugs and BSOD issues from being unsupported so long (even when it WAS supported) chances are no drivers were made compatable with that OS for your machine as XP is a totally different monster you likely would not find drivers for 70+% of your hardware.  I'd 110% advise against even trying it XP is the oldest supported windows OS anymore an even it is about to lose support very VERY soon (if it hasn't yet already).  I can't stress enough how much of a bad idea (and without any advantages by doing so) it would be to even attempt this.

  • Re: IMPORTANT - How to install Windows 2000 on a Satellite L300-16M (PSLB0E) ?

    Hello,
    I'm an independent developper and absolutely need to install several operating systems on my *Satellite L300-16M (PSLB0E)* : it's very important for me because I've to check working of piece of software under every environment for real (not using solutions like VMware, for example).
    Well, so, at this time, I've done an Acronis TrueImage backup of original full HDD, then deleted original WinRE and Data partitions, reduced and moved at beginning of disk the Vista partition... and installed System Commander 8 to prepare my future multi-boot. At this time, all sounds right : Vista works perfectly !
    Also, note I've configured SATA in Setup BIOS to be in "Compatibility" mode ; just because I don't need AHCI in my type of use !
    Second stage : now, *I have to install Windows 2000 Pro (SP4) FR*. Of course, I'm aware that the blocking point is the SATA/AHCI driver, wich is absent in the Win 2K CD... So, I've just made a new CD integrating these drivers using nLite ; at this time, I've tried using driver from Toshiba's XP Drivers page and Intel site about Intel 82801 HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controlleur (ICH8M).
    But it doesn't work completely : the Win 2K install starts... All drivers are well loaded (including the AHCI ones) and just after this loading step, I get a black screen with just a blink cursor at top left of screen... indefinitively :-(
    I've also tried to switch SATA to "AHCI" mode in BIOS and it's the same.
    So, what to do next ?
    Do I've used the wrong AHCI drivers ? Do I need to incorporate the maximum of Toshiba Drivers (about chipset, display, sound) in the Windows 2000 install CD using nLite ? I mean until the CD capacity is not reached.
    Is there a way or tutorial to install Windows 2000 somewhere ? For XP, I think it will more easy because SP3 seems to support AHCI, but, just now, my problem is to install Windows 2000 : even if Microsoft wants to leave-it, there are a lot of professionals who still use-it... And my job, as developer, is to do my software works on this OS too ! *I really need to find a way to install it on this computer !!!*
    Awaiting your lighted replies and all tips or idea which could help me to achieve the task.
    In one word : HELP ! oops !

    Thanks xaver, but I've already tried stormng-20070827133046.zip and it remains the same :(
    About all driver ? Oh, in fact, I'll try to see if the XP ones work and if not I'll have a not-fully working Win 2K, but it will be enough for me to test my programs... I hope, at least, I'll be able to do display driver work !
    Well, seeing I don't succeed using Intel/Toshiba drivers and nLite, I'm trying at this time to go through another way, installing Win2K in a VMware, then forcing install of the Toshiba AHCI driver, then doing a TrueImage of this and restauring in the Toshiba ! I'll see...
    However, if someone has an idea, don't hesitate.
    EDIT : I'm now at the step to try to force the Store Manager driver from Toshiba (the one given for this model under XP), launching iata_cd.exe and after some second I see a message saying that this OS (Windows 2000) is not supported by this driver... So, from now, I clearly know why this driver failed when I gone through the nLite-customized Win2K CD install directly on the Satellite :-(
    So, this change the game : does it exist a Windows 2000 compatible driver for the Satellite L300-16M's AHCI Controller ??? This is the question !
    If you have the answer, very thanks to tell me, of course...

  • How to install Windows Foundation Server 2012 R2

    The following iso from MSDN Downloads only gives an option to install the Storage Server, how do you install Foundation Server from this iso?
    en_windows_storage_server_2012_r2_and_windows_server_2012_r2_foundation_with_update_x64_dvd_4119206.iso
    Thanks! JP 

    True the only way to buy Foundation Server is pre-installed by an OEM.  However as a MSDN developer who needs to test software functionality on Foundation Server there must be a way to install it from the MSDN image.  I was hoping it was like the
    other server installs where depending on which key you gave the installer it would install the corresponding version (ie. Standard or Enterprise)  But the install on the en_windows_storage_server_2012_r2_and_windows_server_2012_r2_foundation_with_update_x64_dvd_4119206.iso
    will only accept a
    storage server key and will not accept a foundation server key.

  • How to obtain Windows 2000 Server/NT Logon credentials

    Has anyone manage to obtain the logon username & password to Win2k server/NT before using iDS & LDAP SDK?
    Or does anyone knows how to do it & had done it before?
    Kindly, share your experiences?
    Many thanks!

    Unclear as to your meaning.
    If you want to:
    Q) Get the password of an NT user so that you can use it to authenticate to directory
    A) No, NT provides no facility to perform such an operation - would you really be happy about it if it did?
    Q) Discover the logon and password that the current process is using so that you can use it to authenticate to directory using them
    A) Yes, you can retrieve the user id, I forget how but it is a standard win32 system call, something like GetCurrent[Logon | User | Something]. You cannot get the password.
    In general, being able to get passwords from OS's is bad. Consequently they usually do not allow it. Imagine how much easier life would be for hackers etc.
    There are reportedly software utilities / code floating around which will do these things for both *nix and NT, but I can't help you there.  It seems to me that even if they worked, including them in your software application  would cause you more headaches than you would care for.        Just like any other undocumented/unsupported "feature" would.
    If that does not cover what you intended - please clarify.

    I am not sure but I think the problem is with the allocated shared memory size, which right now is:
    <b>init.ora</b>
    [code]shared_pool_size = 67108864[/code]
    <b>init<SID>.ora</b>
    [code]shared_pool_size = 90112000
    shared_pool_reserved_size = 9011200
    [/code]
    If this is the cause of the problem then how much should i increase it to? and do i need to modify the size in both files or only init<SID>.ora? Is there any SAP Note related to this problem? Thanks.
    Regards,

    Hi Vasu,
    ORA-4031... for 99%  of cases this means one thing:
    the database instance is not configured correctly.
    To proceed, do the following:
    1. get rid of init.ora (it's not used at all)
    2. make sure that the init<sid>.ora file is really used.
       If there is a spfile in the %ORACLE_HOME&/database folder
       then this will be used.
    3. With your  configured shared pool of 85MB your memory should really not be filled up - anyhow it's really too small for a SAP system!
    Thus I'd check how much memory the other sga-area members (buffer cache, large pool, streams pool, java pool...) take up.
        Remember on Windows 32 Bit, everything runs in one single process that can only allocate 2GB (or 3GB if you've set this option).
    See note:

  • Rwserver -install server_name - failing in windows 2000 server

    Hi,

    Can any one plse help me out..........
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi
    I have the same question namely how does one create a new (in my case an "own process") Report Server. I have copied below a snippet from the Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) documentation (it ommits to tell how a new service is created!)
    "If you add any Reports Servers after installing Oracle Application Server, you should register the new server(s) in two places:
    The Oracle Process Manager and Notification Server's opmn.xml file.
    The Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g's targets.xml file.
    To register a new Reports Server in both opmn.xml and targets.xml, run the
    following command line:
    On UNIX:
    ORACLE_HOME/bin/addNewServerTarget.sh reports_server_name
    On Windows:
    ORACLE_HOME\bin\addNewServerTarget.bat reports_server_name"
    So does running the script also create as well as configure the new service?
    Thanks

    Also make sure you install Install XML Parser since on Windows platforms, Rapid Install requires Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 Service Pack 4 (or later) in order to set up and start services.
    1) Open the Windows Explorer
    2) Navigate to the system root directory (default is C:\winnt\system32).
    3) Right-click msxm13.dll. Select Properties. them click Version.
    4) If XML Parser is not already installed, or if the version on your system is not 3.0 SP4 (or later), go to the following URL and download the Microsoft XML Parser 3.0 SP4 Software Development Kit:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=b432cd45-b7ed-4c32-a443-ec56f10ee175&displaylang=en
    5) After installing MSXML 3.0 SP4 SDK, copy msxm12.lib from <Microsoft XML Parser SDK>\lib to <Visual C++/C>\lib, where <Microsoft XML Parser SDK> is the installed location of the MSXML 3.0 SP4 SDK, and <Visual C++/C> is the installed location of Visual C++/C 6.0.
    For pre-req software, make sure NOT to install it in a directory that contains spaces and NOT under APPL_TOP

    Have everyone a idea?

    hi phill...
    why dont you try it out with the same CD and increase your RAM
    by another 64MB? This will be enough. The reason is , most
    Oracle 8i releases are combined with a java based Oracle
    Universal Installer. This requires some good amount of RAM. Just
    try it out with some extra memory. If this also didnt work, then
    send in the problem,error with your system config. This will
    help me in solving your problem.

  • Problem installing Oracle 8i(8.1.7) standard edition on windows 2000 server

    I am trying to install Oracle 8i (8.1.7) standard edition on windows 2000 server but the setup program doesn't run.
    It starts up, allocates some ram then closes before a window even pops up.
    I also have MSSQL server installed on this computer, does that conflict?
    Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, please give a solution if you have one, thanks,
    OPS

    Yes. There is a bug with Pent4, Win2000 & Oracle8i.
    Here is the workaround:
    This is a known bug with Oracle java-based applications and Pentium 4 Use this work-around:
    1) Copy the install directory from the CD to the hard disk.
    2) Edit oraparam.ini and modify it as follows:
    * Edit the "SOURCE=" line to to show the full path to the CD ; SOURCE={CD DRIVE LETTER}:\stage\products.jar)
    * Edit the "JRE_LOCATION" line to show the full path to the CD ;
    JRE_LOCATION={CD DRIVE
    LETTER}:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\jre\1.1.7\1\DataFiles\Expanded)
    * Edit the "OUI_LOCATION" line to show the full path to the CD ;
    OUI_LOCATION={CD DRIVE
    LETTER}:\stage\Components\oracle\swd\oui\1.6.0.9.0\1\DataFiles\Expanded
    * Edit the "JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS" line to include "-nojit" as the first argument ;
    JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit
    -ms16m -mx32m
    3) Start setup.exe from your hard drive
    Choose a Custom install and choose not to create a database during the install.
    This way, the Database
    Configuration Assistant will not be launched during installation. DONT SELECT
    NET8 products for installation.
    You need to put the same java parameters for the DB configurator and the Net8
    Configurator
    to run.
    -nojit -ms16m -mx32m before -classpath on:
    * assistants\dbca\DBAssist.cl
    * network\tools\netca.cl
    ** Run the DataBaseConfigurationAssistant and NetworkConfigurationAssistant after installation.
    Hope it helps!

  • Installing oracle 10g on windows 2000 server

    hi masters,
    this might look very silly question, and every child might know answer, but i would like to ask this question here that
    i have oracle 9i release 2 installed on my windows server 2000 and an application is already running, now i want to install oracle 10g on same machine...
    but when i try to launch oracle universal installer, it fails to launch it....whay is this so??? do i need to adjust some parameters to install it????
    can anyone provide a checklist to check??i have an antivirus installed on machine...
    any suggestion will be appreciable
    thanks and regards
    VD

    got my answer, you can follow this step.
    on windows 2000 server while launching oracle universal installer, due to jre bug (noted in metalink 266617.1 doc and 393070.1) installer CMD prompt launch and disapper in a while... so run following command on command prompt
    to resolve the issue.. change directory path according to your directory structure.
    change directory to your oracle installation setup.exe directory and execute following command
    C:\>\backup\SoftwareBackup\Database10g\database\install\oui.exe -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=truethanks and regards

    I have installed Oracle 10.1.0.2 on my server ( Windows 2000 server). The procedure of installation goes suitably but during the creation of the base it posts me:
    instance Created
    Dim-00019: Error of creation of service
    O/S-error OS1387) Impossible to add or remove a member of the local group because this member does not exist
    then, I look that the service OracleDBConsole of Enterprise Manager is not created
    knowing only SqlPlus goes well.
    after the installation, I want to add the console Enterprise Manager while using EMCA then it display this error:
    Failure of the configuration Enterprise Manager because: Job_queue_processes must be equal to or higher than 1
    help Me PLEASE

    First problem: Check the user , which does the installation,
    it must be a Local Administrator in order to install Oracle products on a
    Windows NT/2000 Server (machine not part of a domain) or it must be a Domain Administrator to install Oracle products on a Domain Controller (PDC or BDC) (machine part of a domain).
    Another known issue for this problem is a non-english Windows version,in this case the software should reloaded from OTN, which has a fix.
    Second problem: You cannot run emca, BEFORE you have a running database, DBConsole depends on it.

    how to install windows server 2012 r2 without remove the current windows 8.1

    Use guide below to convert it to 'basic' disk, or install windows on another drive. The supported way is to delete all partitions and convert it to a basic disk.

    However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.
