SUMMARY
In Windows 2000, the /syspart parameter for Winnt32.exe causes Windows 2000 Setup to copy all the necessary boot files and temporary Setup files to a drive and mark the partition as active. You can then install the drive in another computer, turn the computer on, and continue with Setup.



MORE INFORMATION
To use the winnt32 /syspart command, the following conditions must exist:
 * You can run the command from a Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based, or Windows 2000-based computer.
 * The server or workstation must contain two hard disks; the second hard disk must be the destination disk.
 * The second hard disk must have a primary partition. The /syspart switch sets this partition as active..
 * The second hard disk must be formatted so that Setup can copy files to it.

There are no limitations as to the hardware in the target computer.
