The text-mode portion of a Windows 2000 installation is not significantly different from the text-mode portion of a Windows NT 4.0 installation. Completing an installation involves the following steps:
A minimal version of Windows 2000 is copied into memory, then the text-mode portion of Setup starts.
| Note Press F6 at this point to load third-party small computer system interface (SCSI) or redundant array of independent disks (RAID) drivers. |
Setup copies files to the hard disk, and saves configuration information.
Setup then restarts the computer and starts the Setup wizard. As in Windows NT 4.0, the default location for installation of the Windows 2000 operating system files is the C:\Winnt folder.
