@@O_mores did you need to have some service pack for that? I remember that the win2k ruined my HDD some times because it could see like 160GB, and when I had partitioned it in 3rd party program, it would install, but sometimes the system would stop working.
@@nomadc4 I used Win2K SP4 but ultimately it's about the disk driver if it can handle larger drives. And UniATA definitely can work with big drives, up to 2TB. For example I can see 1TB SSD in Windows NT 3.51 using the same UniATA drivers.
Windows 2000 and XP had a similar experience, but XP did improve compatibility a little in comparison. I have installed so many computers with both and it was always an uphill battle with newer computers for the first time. However, if you can get a custom rebuilt installer with the patches it makes your life so much easier most of the time. Now if you wanted to install onto an NVMe, you might be out of luck unless you could get a NVMe SCSI emulation driver for it.
The newest I was able to get it on using only the Extended Kernel was some C2D Vista laptop that I found for $75 on local marketplace after scrolling past a sea of 7 ones running on a Pentium which wouldn’t have worked as easily. Had to install a SpeedStep applet and set the process multiplexer so it would function on the 2 Duo cores. Pretty interesting seeing it pushed to the max here, wonder if it’d be more practical to find Xeon hardware of an equivalent spec since they’re server-grade solutions but go out-of-service rapidly quickly
We should push it to the limit while CSM is still an option. It will last maybe a few more years. Around 2030 if you want to pull a video like this you'll have to buy an industrial motherboard to be able to boot straight into DOS on real hardware. Last night a I was able to get NT 3.51 from 1995 running with multi-CPU support on this Intel 13th Gen configuration.

is there any way to use port 60/64 emulation on windows 2000. because it's just works before windows stats to boot. because the usb controlled that you sent me isn't available for my region
Port 60/64 emulation in Windows 2000 can be tricky because it’s primarily designed to work before the OS boots, mainly for USB keyboards and mice in legacy BIOS setups. Unfortunately, after the OS boots, it tends to rely on drivers, and USB controllers compatible with Windows 2000 can be hard to find today. You might need to look for specialized third-party software or try a PS/2-to-USB adapter, as some adapters emulate the port directly. Also, check your BIOS settings to ensure legacy USB support is fully enabled for keyboard and mouse emulation.
Great information, it's good that people have managed to do this. These days it's probably too much hassle for me to get it working on modern hardware, I'm too lazy, but I might dig out an old P4 system and and install it on that instead. It's weird, but in places, your voice is so high pitched that it has a similar affect on me as someone scraping their fingernails on a blackboard. No offence intended. 😉
Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts!

Microsoft was always a step ahead when it comes to unattended installations. When Windows 2000 was at its peak MS had like 90% market share and Windows had to be installed monthly on millions and millions of computers. And this was not reserved only for business, you can install Windows 9x using PXE.
Omores, how did you get Windows 2000 to use Turbo frequencies on the CPU? My install of Windows 2000 SP 4 running on an Ivy Bridge CPU seems to lock on the Base frequency and never seems to Turbo. Thanks.
Hi William, I didn't...! Turbo Boost typically relies on ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) support to function correctly. Windows 2000 has very limited ACPI support, and it predates Intel's Turbo Boost technology by several years, so it doesn’t natively manage Turbo frequencies on modern CPUs. To get around this, you can try enabling ACPI manually during installation, or by updating the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) to the "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" or "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" model, depending on your CPU. This can enable basic power management features but won't work at all on modern motherboards - maybe on those released up to 2010-2012. However, even with ACPI enabled, Windows 2000 still doesn’t have built-in support for the power states (P-states) required to activate Turbo Boost on CPUs like the Ivy Bridge you have.
@@O_mores That's what I thought as well. I'm using Windows 2000 Advanced Server with an Intel B75 motherboard and Xeon E3-1275v2 using the ACPI Multiprocessor HAL. Windows 2000 detects all 8 threads when Hyperthreading, but it behaves strangely in single-threaded applications and properly with multi-threaded applications with Hyperthreading enabled. I wonder if the Asus board I'm using isn't quite compatible.

PCI-E to PS/2 adapters are in fact USB cards with a PS/2 to USB converter inside. They don't work in DOS, Windows 3.11, 95, NT since the operating system won't recognize the USB chip . Newer operating system are recognizing the USB chip and your PS/2 keyboard or mouse will be treated as a USB input device. VIA VL805 is an USB 3 chip, not great for legacy operating systems... You can try to integrate drivers with nLite. Might work since VIA claims that this adapter has `USB legacy support`, whatever that means. To be sure 100% you need a PCI-E to *USB 2.0* card which is recognized automatically in Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista and newer. I use this card: www.startech.com/en-eu/cards-adapters/pexusb4dp

Well, you can, but for some reason you're drive won't be discovered on a modern motherboard. I was able to see my old PCI to SATA adapter with UniATA during the install. So... I suspect you have to get the hardware ID from your SATA controller and insert it in the UniATA driver .INF file. Otherwise it looks UniATA can't act as a universal SATA(AHCI) driver during the install phase. You might want to check this recent Windows 2K video: ua-cam.com/video/f2grGf2rTV8/v-deo.html

Hi, at 10:50 is the way I installed UniATA... This is how you are supposed to do it. The other way is to locate your unrecognized SATA controller and install the driver manually with "Have disk" method... The fist method is better from a compatibility standpoint. Just try to install Windows 2000 from a DOS bootable partition, the DOS part will work for sure and will create a dual boot menu for you. Now you can dump all the files I gave you on C: you and Windows 2000 it should start.
Win2000 is screaming fast on an old computer, so I can only imagine how fast it is on a newer PC. Nice to see an interface that actually makes sense. Oh how things have devolved...
Well, you can't install it on NVMe. You need to use a SATA drive with UniATA drivers. If you have one I can give you a copy of my Win2K installation to make a test.
super video, Omores. n-am stiut ca se poate instala, dar nici n-am cautat. W2000 e sis meu de operare preferat, dupa care ME, desi lumea zice ca-i naspa, mie-mi place :))
Si Windows ME poate instala, vezi ca este un video dedicat ME pe canal. Windows 2K e mai usor de rulat pe configuratii noi - gasesti hardware PCI-E si drivere mai noi decat pentru Windows 98/ME desi ele au fost lansate aproximativ in acelasi timp. Placa video pe care am folosit in video a fost lansata in 2009 si nVidia ofera drivere oficiale compatibile 2K in 2010... Poate reusesti sa dai un share pe undeva ca daca o fac eu... e self promotion si nu se accepta... :)
@@O_mores Thank you a lot for your efforts. First of all your containing is so so helpful to me cause I am in a pickle for long time that my data included my special software hanging in hard disk which its os work under windows 2000 sp4 and motherboard is damaged I am pretty sure that my PATA/IDE disk is OK . That is why I want to contact you directly.
I had a beta copy of Windows 2000 in 1998 but my PC had only 16MB of RAM so I didn't even bother then, but I did try it in 1999 when I upgraded to 64MB. Win2K remained installed on my secondary IDE drive, but I didn't use it that much at the time, since my PC was about gaming and not business...
Windows 2000 arrived when I was 15, so as long as you consider that still childhood, then I can confirm there was at least one of us! I used it on my main machine for many years into the XP era, when gaming support fell away due to lack of newer DirectX/3D support. Definitely strong nostaliga vibes. I ran it a few years later (maybe 2003-2004), when my (newer) main machine failed for some reason. I cobbled together an old P2 233 with 128MB of ram, and that ran Windows 2000 as a Web/Torrenting/Whatever machine really well, while it struggled on XP. Win 2K is firmly cemented in my memories of my teenage years as a great OS.
As a kid/teenager geek, win2k was the best OS I used from the 3.11/95/98 era. It was so fast and so stable. But I remember that a lot of programs needed winXP instead of win2k to work. That's the only reason I left win2k in favor of XP. But hey we were in an era that we did not NEED to have internet access to use a computer. Programs were not downloaded but installed from floppys or CDs bought at the store.
I have a lot of useful software from the windows 2000 era. back in the day of cracks and serials and programs on cd. I'm pretty sure I still have the required floppies. hmm
Software released specifically for Windows 2000 should work in Windows 10/11 without any issues. Btw, standard 32bit programs released with Windows NT 3.51(1995) are still working in Windows 11. Most of them: ua-cam.com/video/qIbeV1BYyOo/v-deo.html

You can try to integrate drivers with nLite. Might work since VIA claims that this adapter has `USB legacy support`, whatever that means. To be sure 100% you need a PCI-E to *USB 2.0* card which is recognized automatically in Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista and newer. I use this card: www.startech.com/en-eu/cards-adapters/pexusb4dp
Hey, can you make a full detailed video about installing UniATA?
Whenever I try to install UniATA it simply gives me a bluescreen or it doesn't install at all.
Or else can we install UniATA using VirtualBox (or) VMware?
This is the only option for me, However, I tried installing Windows 2000 on my old business PC which is HP SFF-8300 it works with Windows 2000 when I emulate Sata as IDE.
But when I install UniATA, it starts to give me a bluescreen. I need to install UniATA because I want to use Windows 2000 on my Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WIFI Motherboard.
I installed your files using PRE-installed Windows 2000 on VirtualBox, I burned the VHD to disk using VHD2Disk and copied the files that you gave me earlier to the drive. is the right manner?
Bluescreen: Inaccessible Boot Device
Please Help Me Brother.@@O_mores
I have the issue too and he should make an install guide pdf to help us do it right!!!
Hi Omores, I was curious: Can I slipstream these UniATA drivers into Windows 2000 with nLite?
Well, you can, but for some reason you're drive won't be discovered on a modern motherboard. I was able to see my old PCI to SATA adapter with UniATA during the install. So... I suspect you have to get the hardware ID from your SATA controller and insert it in the UniATA driver .INF file. Otherwise it looks UniATA can't act as a universal SATA(AHCI) driver during the install phase. You might want to check this recent Windows 2K video: ua-cam.com/video/f2grGf2rTV8/v-deo.html
@@O_mores I will do the .INF steps and watch the video and report back. Thank you Omores! That is very helpful.

Hi, at 10:50 is the way I installed UniATA... This is how you are supposed to do it. The other way is to locate your unrecognized SATA controller and install the driver manually with "Have disk" method... The fist method is better from a compatibility standpoint. Just try to install Windows 2000 from a DOS bootable partition, the DOS part will work for sure and will create a dual boot menu for you. Now you can dump all the files I gave you on C: you and Windows 2000 it should start.
Win2000 is screaming fast on an old computer, so I can only imagine how fast it is on a newer PC. Nice to see an interface that actually makes sense. Oh how things have devolved...
back than Windows wasn't yet a black hole for comoputing power
I can't contact you so please find out how we can solve this

I wish i could use this instead of Windows 10 / 11 on a daily base!
create iso all drivers. My PC is Rog Strix B460 ITX, i3-10100 16gb ram 1 Tb SSD NVME
Well, you can't install it on NVMe. You need to use a SATA drive with UniATA drivers. If you have one I can give you a copy of my Win2K installation to make a test.
super video, Omores. n-am stiut ca se poate instala, dar nici n-am cautat. W2000 e sis meu de operare preferat, dupa care ME, desi lumea zice ca-i naspa, mie-mi place :))
Si Windows ME poate instala, vezi ca este un video dedicat ME pe canal. Windows 2K e mai usor de rulat pe configuratii noi - gasesti hardware PCI-E si drivere mai noi decat pentru Windows 98/ME desi ele au fost lansate aproximativ in acelasi timp. Placa video pe care am folosit in video a fost lansata in 2009 si nVidia ofera drivere oficiale compatibile 2K in 2010... Poate reusesti sa dai un share pe undeva ca daca o fac eu... e self promotion si nu se accepta... :)
How I can contact you?
We can talk here.
@@O_mores Thank you a lot for your efforts.
First of all your containing is so so helpful to me cause I am in a pickle for long time that my data included my special software hanging in hard disk which its os work under windows 2000 sp4 and motherboard is damaged I am pretty sure that my PATA/IDE disk is OK .
That is why I want to contact you directly.
You can send me an email. Just click on my profile you'll find a contact button.
There is no botton to click it ,how can I do@@O_mores
I don't recall someone using Windows 2000 on their childhood!
I had a beta copy of Windows 2000 in 1998 but my PC had only 16MB of RAM so I didn't even bother then, but I did try it in 1999 when I upgraded to 64MB. Win2K remained installed on my secondary IDE drive, but I didn't use it that much at the time, since my PC was about gaming and not business...
Windows 2000 arrived when I was 15, so as long as you consider that still childhood, then I can confirm there was at least one of us! I used it on my main machine for many years into the XP era, when gaming support fell away due to lack of newer DirectX/3D support. Definitely strong nostaliga vibes. I ran it a few years later (maybe 2003-2004), when my (newer) main machine failed for some reason. I cobbled together an old P2 233 with 128MB of ram, and that ran Windows 2000 as a Web/Torrenting/Whatever machine really well, while it struggled on XP. Win 2K is firmly cemented in my memories of my teenage years as a great OS.
As a kid/teenager geek, win2k was the best OS I used from the 3.11/95/98 era. It was so fast and so stable. But I remember that a lot of programs needed winXP instead of win2k to work. That's the only reason I left win2k in favor of XP. But hey we were in an era that we did not NEED to have internet access to use a computer. Programs were not downloaded but installed from floppys or CDs bought at the store.
I have a lot of useful software from the windows 2000 era. back in the day of cracks and serials and programs on cd. I'm pretty sure I still have the required floppies. hmm
Software released specifically for Windows 2000 should work in Windows 10/11 without any issues. Btw, standard 32bit programs released with Windows NT 3.51(1995) are still working in Windows 11. Most of them: ua-cam.com/video/qIbeV1BYyOo/v-deo.html
10$ on 486 that it can do it faster!🐢🐢🐢
please send me files without mps
I will install Win 2K on my Ryzen 9 3900X and send you the files possibly today. The footage from this video was done with the files you already have.
Ok Brother@@O_mores
Have you done with the installation
@@GordenMalcom Yep, I have a fresh install SP4 standard PC + UniATA, tested on my X470 motherboard - it boots from the on board SATA! Give me a message on reddit I will give a download link when I'm home.
I have this VIA VL805 PCIe USB card which has a native Windows 2000-supported driver but the thing is I can't install the driver to Windows 2000 because my motherboard doesn't have any PS2 port built to it. So is there any way to integrate the driver without using a keyboard or mouse?
I tried installing the VIA VL805 PCIe USB card driver from my old business PC which is an HP SFF-8300 because it has a PS2 port, when I tried to boot it gave me a blue screen Inaccessible Boot Device
Is there any way to add a PS2 port to my Motherboard

Sorry to disturb you, Brother.
Have A Nice Day!@@O_mores
This guy is not Borat. He's Gru.
OK, I guess Gru it's more flattering... :)
i thought ur guides were cool so i tried to follow them to make a modern parts pc but the recommended motherboard u use has been impossible to get working and ofc asus tech support is like duh whats a computer. i have never had a mobo just totally fail to work like this one (tried 2 diff boards, both same model as urs) and i wonder if the manual even has correct information in it, it's that bad
Tell me where you get stuck and I can help you. I just installed NT 4 with multiprocessor support on this motherboard. I use 09/2023 BIOS: i.imgur.com/B9dI3sx.png. What OS do you want to install?
i wish i even got that far in the process, i cant even get the motherboard to boot. i tried two different psu and i just get a red led light on the motherboard when the psu switch is on, the led lasts a few seconds then turns off, it is right next to the nuvoton chip. the power switch wont boot the board and not even shorting the power on/off pins with a jumper works. 2 different psu, 2 different motherboards, two different cpus, two different sticks of ram, same problem always@@O_mores
also i tried clearing cmos by removing cmos battery for 10 mins@@O_mores
every time i try to reply here my messages dont appear? so anyway i used your website's comments/questions form to send system information @@O_mores
I'm gonna guess that you are an Aquarius.
Super lame.
I'm running windows 2000 datacenter on an 8 core processor with 16 gigs of dedicated ram.
Thanks for sharing, but it's worth noting that Windows 2000 Workstation and Windows 2000 Datacenter are designed for very different purposes. Workstation was optimized for personal productivity, with limitations in terms of scalability and resource allocation.
@@O_mores And datacenter was a thousand dollar os that supports up to 32 cores and is still capable of being a modern workhorse..
Thanks for elucidating but it's worth noting my opinion remains the same. This video is super lame.
the most squeaky narrator's voice ever
That would be something, but I don't think it's exactly "the most"... Maybe just regular squeaky... :)
Every uhh sentence uhh you uhh umm speak sounds uhh like a umm uhhh question....?
ya i can't watch this anymore because of that
Point taken. Check out my last videos, I think they are "umm, uhhh" free now.
