A windows 2000 disk was purchased to upgrade an existing wintel machine
to a new operating system. This is a backup copy of the original.

It's an upgrade version of Windows 2000?

At any rate, it seems that the setup program is looking specifically
for a particular cd-rom, not just one with SP2 on it. Did you r
original purchase come with 2 disks?
