If the install reports a missing EULA its gone.. ie: NOT on the CD... So you did something wrong, and will have to make a new CD.

Found this article in the Microsoft Knowledgebase, but it is for Windows XP:

Are your formatting the partition within the Windows 2000 setup, or are you doing it before hand? If you are doing it before hand I would suggest booting through the CD and performing the partitioning within the Windows 2000 setup.

You have to create this CD with the help of your own authorized Windows 2000 CD. If you aren't using a full Official Windows 2000 CD you will get the above error.

copied the i386 dir and ran winnt . worked but id rather get the cd working for future.

You should try taking an original Windows 2000 CD and slipstreaming service pack 4 into it, and then burn it back to CD. Here is how to do it:
