    Hi Phil,

    I'm guessing you are already booted into the OS & something you are
    installing is asking for that CD. If so what you can do is copy the I386
    folder from the Win2K CD to the root of your drive (typically C:\). Then
    download SP2 (or SP4) & "slipstream" the service pack into that I386 folder.
    When you get to the prompt for the CD w/ SP2 just point to that I386 folder
    on you local drive.

    Check out this link on how to slipstream a SP
    http://www.petri.co.il/windows_2000_xp_sp_slipstreaming.htm

    Regards & Good Luck!
