Chapter 2. Installing Windows 2000

Windows 2000 presents some challenges when installing the operating system if

the IDE CD-ROM option is not installed on your SurePOS 300 terminal. However,

you can easily modify the Windows 2000 installation media to support the SurePOS

300. The instructions below outline the procedure, which can be used to install the

operating system.

Requirements

vWindows 2000 Professional CD-ROM

vWindows 2000 Professional Setup Boot Diskettes (4 diskettes created by the

CD-ROM). If you do not have these disks, you can create them using

MAKEBOOT.EXE, located in the \bootdisk folder on the CD-ROM

vUSB or PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse

vExternal USB Floppy Disk Drive

vExternal USB CD-ROM Drive (if IDE CD-ROM option is not present)

vSATA Driver Disk (download from RSS support http://www.ibm.com/solutions/

retail/store/support)

Configuring the Windows 2000 Professional Setup Diskettes

Note: This section only applies to SurePOS 300 systems without the internal IDE

CD-ROM option.

Support for the IBM USB CDROM drive is not included in the operating system by

default. This is because the USB vendor ID and device ID do not match the list of

supported devices in the setup diskettes. Therefore, it must be included in the

Windows 2000 Professional setup diskettes. Follow the directions below to

configure the setup diskettes.

1. Insert Windows 2000 Professional setup diskette # 1.

2. Open TXTSETUP.SIF in a text editor.

3. Under the HardwareIdsDatabase section, add one of the following lines:

IBM USB CDRom Drive (02N8239 / 33L5151)

USB\VID_04B3&PID_4427 = "usbstor" ;IBM USB CD-ROM VID/PID P/N

33L5151

IBM USB CDRW/DVD Drive (73P4516)

USB\VID_04DA&PID_0D0E = “usbstor” ;IBM USB Combo P/N 73P4516

4. If you do not have the Hardware ID for the specific CD-ROM device you are

using, you can locate the MachingDeviceID key using the Windows System

Information utility:

a. Plug the USB drive into any Windows XP or 2000 system. Wait until the

system has detected the drive, and it is functional.

b. Open System Information, and look for the device you connected, under

USB.

c. Record the value for the PNP Device ID of your new device.

d. Enter the Vendor and Product ID into the TXTSETUP.SIF file using the

following format:

“MatchingDeviceId” = “usbstor” ;Drive Description

Table 1. Vendor/Product ID for Windows 2000 Professional Setup

“MatchingDeviceId” Value from PNP Device ID

= “usbstore” Leave as is, including quotes and spaces

;Drive Description May be any text you like to identify your

device.

5. Save TXTSETUP.SIF and exit the text editor.

Configuring BIOS Setup

1. Power on the system and enter BIOS setup by pressing the DEL key during

POST.

2. Enter the Advanced BIOS Features menu.

3. Under the Boot Device selections, make the following changes:

vFirst Boot Device = USB-FDD

vSecond Boot Device = HDD-0
