1. The entire installation process does not require you to participate, like Windows 98 automatic installation.
2. Automatically format the Windows 2000 partition as NTFS.
3. Automatically installs Windows 2000 to the currently active partition C disk.
Ii. relevant preparations
1. To have a Windows 2000 boot installation CD.
2. Your motherboard BIOS supports booting from the CD drive.
3. Make automatic installation control file winnt.sif.
4. A blank floppy disk.
5. For the current active partition C disk (can be more C disk, not necessarily the first hard drive of the first partition, can be the second partition, but the partition must be activated) important data to do backup, because the installation will automatically format the C disk, the Windows2000 installed in the C disk.
