Question New Instal Of Win 2000 Pro

I wish to instal Windows 2000 Professional on a new build.

I have a Seagate Baracuda 200GB HD.
Gigabyte GA-K8N51GMF-9 Motherboard.
AMD 64 3200
1GB ram

I am told the setup is different to Windows XP and you can not just put the disk in and it does everything.

It works just like XP. However, you will be initially limited to a 128gb partition on your drive unless your copy of Win2000 has SP3 or SP4 already incorporated. If that's a SATA hard drive, you will need the SATA drivers on a floppy, press F6 when prompted at the beginning of Setup to install them.
