Creating a windows server 2000 ISO
Trying to build a windows server 2000 VM:
See the attached jpeg.
THese are the windows 2000 source files. I can rightclick and create an ISO. its around 420mb.
I then mount this ISO image from virtual center and it asks for Disk 2. I created another ISO and pointed the image file towards CDBOOT2.IMG (There are 4 CDBOOT IMG files in here). It asks for disk 3 and I do the same using the CDBOOT3.IMG file but nothing happens.
Can someone please explain how to create an ISO for windows server 2000 without the need to ahve 4 disks etc.

Scratch that. I am able to get past the "Insert disk 1,2,3,4" phase but then I get this:
BSOD - *** STOP 0X0000007B ... INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
I;ve tried using both BUS and LSI SCSI controllers. Do I need to load a 3rd party driver or something? Any help would be appreciated

Yes, you will need drivers on "Floppy" for those controllers (VMware allows you to use "Floppy Images" for that too). Check the site below for more info (it is for XP but that is the same issue there):

You should be able to download the driver from the LSI site:

Windows 2000
Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
