Requirements for Using the "WINNT32 /SYSPART" Command

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

SUMMARY

In Windows 2000, the /syspart parameter for Winnt32.exe causes Windows 2000 Setup to copy all the necessary boot files and temporary Setup files to a drive and mark the partition as active. You can then install the drive in another computer, turn the computer on, and continue with Setup.

MORE INFORMATION

To use the winnt32 /syspart command, the following conditions must exist:

• You can run the command from a Microsoft Windows 95-based, Microsoft Windows 98-based, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based, or Windows 2000-based computer.



• The server or workstation must contain two hard disks; the second hard disk must be the destination disk.



• The second hard disk must have a primary partition. The /syspart switch sets this partition as active.



• The second hard disk must be formatted so that Setup can copy files to it.
