Post subject: Microsoft Virtual PC (Virtualizing Windows 2000) Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsnt>setup, others (more info?)
I posted this question in different sections for different reasons. one
reason was because I am not sure were to post this question. Another reason
is because I am trying to virtualize a legacy operating system on Windows
Vista using Microsoft Virtual PC and I seem to be having an issue with it.
What I am trying to do is virtualize Windows 2000 on my Windows Vista PC
using Microsoft Virtual PC. the only issue is that when i try to install
Windows 2000 on the Virtual PC i get an issue. it gives me an issues saying
that i cannot install the operating system because it did not come with the
computer or whatever. yet when i install it on the physical machine itself,
the computer will go through with the installation just fine.
I think i am having this particular issue because the installation CD i have
for windows 2000 is a OEM CD. what I am asking if anyone knows where I can
download an ISO image of a Windows 2000 installation CD that will work with
Microsoft Virtual PC. It would be nice if someone knows a place of where I
could download an ISO of the installation CD or if someone can just send me
a physical installation CD for windows 2000.
there are a lot of reasons of why I reather Virtualize Windows 2000 over
Windows XP. one reason is because windows 2000 takes up less hard disk space
and plus it does not detect certian types of hardware devices. I virtualized
Windows XP earlier and one or two of the devices that Wondows XP detected
that Windows 2000 does not detect, made it so that it kept switching back
and forth between Vista and XP whenever I used those particular hardware
devices. another advantage of virtualizing Windows 2000 is that it works
faster, and plus it is more compatible with older applications that Windows
XP may or may not be compatible with.
so, can someone please help me with this issue that i am having. windows
vista just has too many program compatiility issues for its own good.

Even if you run an Operating System in a vitual machine, you still need a
legitimate licence to install and use it!
You don't have a licence with a used OEM disk!
You also don't say whether it is holygrammed MS disk; or OEM from Dell, etc,
which is tied to the original computer's Motherboard.
The bottom line is: you HAVE to buy a Licence.

You have multi-posted, NOT cross-posted.
All you have done is make more work for people here, as answers do not show
up across the board now!!
I answered you in another Newsgroup!

Hi Steven,
What you need is retail media with a Product Key. I doubt anyone will simply
give it to you, you'll have to peruse sites that may still sell it (might
try ebay) as it is no longer available through normal retail channels. The
only legit sources for downloading the .iso's would be via MSDN or Technet
subscriptions.

I just want the ISO image not an activation key. oddly i have two activation
keys. one was for a retail version but i lost the CD for it. and that one
was a multi-PC lisence. and the interesting thing was that i could use
either activation key with any of the CDs. but yet with XP or vista, each
activation key seems to be locked to a particular Windows installation CD.
Since I am starting my own PC repair company and all that microsoft knows
about, I think I may or may not be able to get them to send me a copy of
Windows 2000. I would purchase Windows 2000, but its not worth it for use on
Microsoft virual PC. I'll just keep using it on my tc4400. having two of the
same tablet PC is usefull. besides microsoft may snd me a copy of microsoft
since I do business with them at times through my company.

You can get a Windows 2000 download from MSDN. You will need to subscribe unless you already are.
Also you might find someone selling one on EBay
