Is 8.6 Compatible with W2K server SP4 ??

[Nigel_Basey-Fis]

I am still having problems with creating IDR bootable media, I am running Windows server 2000 with SP4 installed, when creating IDR media i am using a windows server disk with integrated SP3. Additionally installed Hotfix 24 and 44, however this results in errors when creating the media "files not found" example Benchmrk.vs_ & qntm3520.vs_............... if i try the media it boots ok (CD image), however ends with the error .sif corrupt / missing, i thought hotfix 44 was intended to solve this or am i running into more problems as my systems running SP4?????

Have you tried creating an SP4 CD and using that?

(Tho http://seer.support.veritas.com/docs/237486.htm says that SP3 is the latest version supported)

Thanks for the fast reply, downloading SP4 now. Any ideas or suggestions with the missing files, guessing they are from a cataloge file from Veritas ??, maybe another hotfix i need to apply ??? .......

Ok, downloaded W2KSP4, extracted the files and copied the I386 dir to disk, started IDR creation but returning with error "Image Creation from this CD is not supported"................. ??????? any ideas????

You can't use just SP4 CD.

You will need to create a SP4 slipstreamed copy of the Windows 2000 CD.

How to do this can be found here -

or you can also do a search on google.

Then when the IDR wizard asks for a CD, use that one.
