Windows 2000 Parallel Installation?

[Paul Jenkins]

Hi.

Can anyone tell me how install Windows 2000 into a non-standard folder such
as c:\winnt_temp? Thanks.

As long as you have an installation in \WINNT, just follow the procedure in
this MS Knowledge Base article:

What if we don't have an existing installation in \winnt? We want to
install initially to a temporary folder, thenninstall our backup product,
and then restore a backup of a 'recovered' sever that has a default \winnt
system folder. Thanks.
