Let me ask at work. We have several CDs laying around that are not used & I might be able to grab one of them.

I have a couple of 'flavors' of 2000 if you dont have any Thor. I dont think I have just plain 2000 originals though. I have 2000 Pro, 2000 Standard Server, 2000 Data Center Server and 2000 Advanced Server. Of the 2000 Pro's I have one that I slip-streamed Sata drivers onto. Another that I have slip-streamed SP4 onto. Another  with XP Icons and DX9 slip-streamed onto it. And one more Pro with Windows 7 wallpapers and Icons, SP5 and 400 hot fixes slip-streamed into it. A little mish-mash from my slip-streaming days. 2000 is a rather hearty and stable OS overall to 'play' with.

Thank you both very much for responding.I think I'll give Thor a chance to take a look first

Janice, the 2000 pro will work fine.If you don't want to part with it I can pay shipping both ways and I can return it to you after I use it, whatever you think is best.Let's give Thor a chance and then we can work out the details...Thanks again.

It won't be until Monday that I can check. I hope you can wait that long.

Checked with the boss, we have exactly ZERO Windows 2000 disks. Turns out that one of the techs before him took all the Windows 2000 disks and did something with them. I'm thinking friends & eBay.

I understand how that game is played. Thanks for taking the time to look.

Ok. Sorry it took so long. I made a copy, tested it and mailed it to you today. It is supposed to get there by Monday.

This copy has both SP4 and Sata drivers integrated. I think I integrated the key too, but Im not certain. Anyways I also enclosed the key in text for you too just in case.

Let me know if you have any problems. Otherwise, enjoy!
