А Windows 2000 та со всем хабаром, который я в неё засунул, всё равно занимает чуть больше 4 гигабайт места.

Узнал про сайт legacyupdate.net/

Попробовал с него обновить Windows 2000 на виртуалке. Даже заработало через несколько ребутов после установки всякого.

Oh, I forgot to show you some super nostalgic images of #windows2000 booting up! Yes, takes me right back! (and, between you and me? This computer's host name is Alpaca.)

A beige IBM CRT monitor sits atop a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer, both part of a retro computing setup. The screen displays the early boot screen of Windows 2000 Professional, showing the “Starting Windows…” text with a horizontal progress bar made of small blue rectangles. Below it reads: “For troubleshooting and advanced startup options for Windows 2000, press F8.” To the left are a few jewel cases for CDs, and to the right is a Logitech speaker and a Mac mini is just barely visible. The background features pink fiberglass insulation and a curtain.The same IBM CRT monitor and Compaq Deskpro EN are now shown further along in the boot process. The screen displays the Windows 2000 Professional splash screen, featuring the Windows flag logo and the text “Built on NT Technology.” A loading bar near the bottom reads “Starting up…” with a copyright notice below: “Copyright © 1985–1999 Microsoft Corporation.” The glow from the CRT adds a soft light to the otherwise dim workspace. The rest of the setup remains unchanged, including the CD cases, speakers, and nearby Mac mini.

Yep, I’ve got one of these too! It’s been a bit of a guinea pig for me, and has a dedicated video card in it (because I could). #compaq #compaqdeskpro #retrocomputing #vintagecomputer #retrocomputer #oldcomputer #windows2000 #crt #90snostalgia #2000snostalgia #bluescreen #deskpro #compaqdeskproen

A vintage PC setup shows a Compaq Deskpro EN desktop computer placed beneath an IBM CRT monitor, which is currently displaying the Windows 2000 Professional Setup screen. The setup is in the process of formatting a partition labeled C: New (Unformatted) with a size of 57,239MB, and the progress bar indicates it’s 51% complete. The familiar blue setup screen states: “Please wait while Setup formats the partition…” In front of the computer is a classic Dell QuietKey keyboard with gray and white keys, along with a generic beige two-button mouse resting on a black mousepad. A pair of Logitech desktop speakers is visible behind the keyboard on the right, next to a powered-off Lenovo ThinkVision monitor and another keyboard. The scene is set against a backdrop of unfinished walls with visible pink insulation, and the workspace has a cozy, retro-tech atmosphere. The CRT’s glow adds a nostalgic touch, capturing a moment familiar to anyone who installed Windows operating systems in the late 1990s or early 2000s.

Anybody have any experience converting a physical Win2000 install to virtual? I'm stuck on inaccessible boot device and a lot of the resources on the Internet are dead links. Trying to preserve whatever was on this old drive. This seems like a driver issue but I don't really know.

> My story wasn’t an isolated incident

Lol, definitely not! When I got my first "real" IT job 20 years ago, I inherited a room full of #Windows2000 #servers. Most services were migrated to #Linux. But there were two servers with proprietary #databases that the entire company depended on, but nobody really knew anything about. The company that had developed the software had long since gone out of business. Rumor had it that the main developer had even died!

I have a #Windows2000 disc laying around. It's time to use it as my daily driver.

What could go wrong?

Another random #QEMU tip:

#Windows2000 works pretty well under modern versions of QEMU, though not quite as well as WinXP. Try this:

* Video: vmvga or vmware-svga
* Audio: ac97
* Net: rtl8139

Install the video driver from an old VMWare Guest Utilities CD. One from the 3.x or 4.x series should work well. This will give you better video than the Cirrus card that's usually recommended, though you'll still be stuck with 4:3 or 5:4.

NT4 and earlier are a mess. Use #86Box or #VirtualBox for those.

This package containing all Windows 11 fonts and some extras like Fira, Noto, Open Sans and IBM Plex for Windows 2000 and later.

My intention is simply to provide more modern fonts for older versions of Windows. Ideal for those who enjoy retrocomputing running Windows on a VM.

⚠️ Installer only tested in Windows 2000 and XP.
