Faster, smarter, simpler: Each release of Windows trumpets its prowess to the world, and eager buyer snatch up millions of copies every single month. It's a seemingly never-ending cavalcade of upgrades and we've become so used to it that it's hard, sometimes, to remember a system that didn't need to be upgraded so often.

Windows 2000, specifically the end-user oriented Professional Edition, seeks to end all that. And this first step toward an eventual nerdvana of automatic upgrades is, quite possibly, the last version of NT you'll ever need to buy in a retail store and install with a CD-ROM.We'll see how quickly the future Windows delivery systems arrive. But in the meantime, we're pretty much stuck with manual installation of the operating system.

Description of Dune 2000 Windows. This game is a reimagining of the seminal RTS Dune II. Westwood Studios created that game as well as the ever-popular Command and Conquer series. Dune 2000 takes place in the ever-expansive Dune universe written by Frank Herbert and son Brian. The gameplay lets you play as the three major factions of the first book.

And with Windows 2000, the past ( NT 4.0) is married with the future ( Neptune) in ways that are sometimes pleasing, sometimes aggravating. The installation process is a wonderful example of this dichotomy.There are three basic ways to install Windows 2000 Professional:. 'Fresh install' - Windows 2000 is installed as the only operating system on a formatted or empty hard drive. Dual boot - Windows 2000 is installed alongside another operating system (typically Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0) in a dual-boot scenario where the user is given a menu of OSes to choose from when the system boots up.

Applications will need to be installed separately for Windows 2000, and the OS must be installed on a separate hard drive or partition from the existing OS. Upgrade - Windows 95, 98, or NT 4.0 is upgraded to Windows 2000, effectively swapping the old operating system for the new one, but leaving most applications intact.In this showcase, I will be focusing on a clean install of Windows 2000 Professional. However, I have already examined the Windows 2000 upgrade in my review, '.' And I will be covering the dual boot process in a future technology showcase.Preparing the hard drive for Windows 2000To install Windows 2000, you'll need to first prepare the hard drive for Windows 2000. There are two ways to do this: Using the four setup floppies supplied by Microsoft, or using a Windows 9x boot floppy.

If you have any version of Windows 9x lying around, I recommend this approach because its faster. And make sure you've got a copy of SMARTDRV.EXE (' SmartDrive') on the boot floppy: It's a must.The first step, then, involves booting the system with the boot floppy. If you're using a Windows 98 floppy, do not enable CD-ROM support. When the command prompt comes up, use FDISK to create one or more partitions on the hard drive. Then, reboot the system, choose CD-ROM support if you are using a Windows 98 boot floppy, and format the hard drive (at least the C: drive) from the command line.

When this is complete, SYS the C: drive so it boots: While this isn't always necessary, on several occasions I've seen the Windows 2000 install process halt because it couldn't boot the C: drive during the first reboot.Windows 2000, like Windows NT, needs to copy a slew of small files to the hard drive so that it can install. And anyone who has installed Windows NT without using SmartDrive will tell you that this process can take hours. So, execute SMARTDRV from the command line and then switch over to the CD-ROM volume (typically drive E: on a single hard drive system as the D: drive will be temporarily taken up by the Windows 98 boot floppy RAM disk). CD into the /i386 folder and run winnt.exe from the command line.Hold your breath, we're going in.Windows 2000 setup, part one: MS-DOS modeIf you've never seen it before, the wonderfully retro first stage of the Windows 2000 setup is a DOS-based program that's been around since the early days of Windows NT. Generally, you use the ENTER key to move forward through the program and F3 to exit at any time.The first step asks you to identify the location of the Windows 2000 files: This will be E:i386 by default. If the location is correct, and there is enough free hard drive space (approximately 250 MB of free space is required, according to Microsoft, though you'll want at least 500 MB for a base install), the setup program will copy approximately 145 MB of Windows 2000 setup files off the CD-ROM and onto your system.

The reasons for this seemingly meaningless step are now lost in the arcana of time, but basically Windows 2000, like Windows NT 4.0 before it, needs to have certain files on the local system before it reboots, because of the possibility that the drive letter designation for the i386 folder will change before it enters the GUI portion of setup. That Windows 2000 is not yet smart enough to understand that this is a local install and not require this step is, shall we say, quaint. OK, actually, it's retarded.Once the files are copied, the MS-DOS portion of setup completes and you are asked to restart your computer. Eject the boot floppy and press ENTER to restart.Windows 2000 setup, part two: Text modeWhen the system reboots, Windows 2000 takes control and examines the PC's hardware. Then, a second seemingly MS-DOS-based setup program launches that looks essentially identical to the first part of setup.

Don't be fooled, however: This portion of setup actually uses the Windows 2000 kernel and is a pseudo-Windows 2000 text mode system.Windows 2000 setup asks you whether you'd like to install Windows 2000, repair an existing Windows 2000 installation, or exit setup. The second choice can be used in a variety of situations to perform emergency operations when, say, your system won't boot. If you overwrite the Windows 2000 boot files, for example, you'll want to repair the installation this way. Of course, for our purposes here, the first option is correct. Press ENTER to continue.The Windows 2000 End-User Licensing Agreement (EULA) appears next. In Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft actually required you to PAGE DOWN to the end of the agreement before you could get past this screen, an obvious attempt to try and ensure that you actually read the damn thing.

Few people do, of course, and in Windows 2000 you can simply proceed from here without paging down. You do this by pressing F8, not ENTER as usual. No, I don't know why.The next step shows you the partitions and free space that are available on the system. You can choose a partition to install to, create a new partition out of free space, or delete a partition so that you can later create a different partition. Since we've created a single partition and formatted it (with FAT32, incidentally, if you used Windows 98 to perform the format), we can simply accept the default selection here and press ENTER to move on. But its conceivable that you'll be spending some time here if you've got a few partitions.In the next step, you are asked whether you'd like to convert the installation partition to NTFS or leave it intact (that is, leave the partition formatted as FAT32). The choice is up to you, but most single-system users will not need any of the features in NTFS, which is designed for corporations: If you're going to be using Windows 2000 at home, choose to keep FAT32, which runs faster than NTFS.

If you do choose to convert to NTFS, incidentally, the conversion will take place the next time the system reboots.Next, Windows 2000 examines the hard drive partitions on your system. This never takes more than a few seconds, contrary to the warning Microsoft provides. When this is complete, Windows 2000 setup copies the remaining files that will be needed by the GUI portion of setup to follow. The files that are copied are based on the basic hardware detection that was performed during the first reboot, so these files are somewhat system-specific (that is, if you have SCSI hardware, SCSI drivers will be provided). When the files are copied, setup will automatically reboot your system.Windows 2000 setup, part three: GUI modeAt this point, you've got a bare Windows 2000 system installed, one that is designed to finish the installation process and provide you with a fully-functioning operating system.

When your system reboots, you will be prevented by the same boot sequence you will see every time you boot Windows 2000 in the future: First, a text-based progress bar with the text 'Starting Windows 2000' appears. As the progress bar inches across the screen, your hardware is being detected, though there is no mention of this onscreen. In Windows NT 4.0 and earlier beta releases of Windows 2000, this process was indicated by a similar text screen showing a series of dots appearing as devices were found. Microsoft felt that this wasn't necessarily obvious, so a few new variations were tested during the Windows 2000 beta and the company eventually settled on this design. I still don't understand why Microsoft doesn't just say 'Windows 2000 is detecting your hardware.' Because the current boot process claims that Windows 2000 is starting in three separate screens and windows, which is a bit monotonous and disingenuous.No matter: Once your hardware is detected, a graphical boot screen is displayed with yet another progress bar that marches across the screen next to the text 'Starting up.'

This screen also features a curious pulsating bar, similar to the one used in Windows 9x, that is supposed to indicate that something is happening. If that's the case, I don't see a reason for the progress bar at all, which invariably pauses for about 10-20 seconds on most systems when it hits the 60% point.

After this, the GUI mode portion of setup springs to life via a low-res backdrop and, after a final wait, the Windows 2000 Setup Wizard appears.Oddly, the first dialog displayed by the Wizard will disappear automatically after a few seconds, dumping you into one of several monotonous phases of setup: device installation. During this tedious phase, during which the screen will flicker, temporarily fade to black, and sometimes jump around like a Mexican jumping bean, the Windows 2000 Setup Wizard will thoroughly detect every single hardware device (COM ports, serial ports, joysticks, keyboards, whatever) on your system. If drivers exist for these devices, they will be copied into your installation.
