Windows 2000 Starting floppys

I need a working starting disk and used the simplest one, as have not worked
so far. How can a simple one on one disk work when others need 4, its
smarter?

W2's rescue disks started installing, is that as my W2k CD?

You need to be a little more precise. I can think of at least
four completely different boot diskettes:
a) A Linux-style boot diskette, to give you access to the hard
disk without using any Win2000 files.
b) A Win98 boot diskette, to give you access to a hard disk
without using any Win2000 files.
c) A set of Win2000 Recovery Console diskettes, to get you
into the Win2000 Recovery Console. Much easier to use
your Win2000 CD for this.
d) A Win2000 startup diskette, to launch Win2000.

This is why I asked you what your aim was.

Courtesy score in this thread: Anton = 0, Pegasus = 9. You won't
get many answers unless you take the time to answer questions
politely and in detail.

Sorry for the short answer, I needed some sleep.
Its option d) when I've tested that simple one as hasnt worked so far,
Bootdisk seem to have at least 4 but stopped downloading at 3½. I have
several other CPs working with W2000 and XP dual boot.

You can use a boot disk from here
http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/ntboot/
to launch Windows 2000.

Since I cannot see your machine, you need to report what
you did and what exactly you saw on the screen. "Hasn't worked
well so far" does not tell me a great deal.

PS I have W98 on first, then 3 W2000s, as seen in P.magic with rescue disk.
Starting with that rescuedisk for 2k/xp shows 1 copied part as needs chkdsk,
1 windows just restarts and 2 copied cant read 2 files. After running
bootfix and mbr they have come in another order. If I like to run chkdsk and
copy those files without doing it on all parts, how can I know which is what
when they change names from install to running CD and r?

Sorry, I haven't the faintest idea what you are talking about. I will
now stop monitoring this thread.
