SYMPTOMS
You can use the /syspart switch for Winnt32.exe to copy the installation files to another disk. You can then install that disk in another computer, turn it on, and continue with Windows 2000 Setup.

When you run Winnt32.exe with the /syspart switch in Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98, it does not work correctly.

RESOLUTION
At this time, using the /syspart switch from a computer running Windows 95 or Windows 98 is not supported. This command must be run from a Windows 2000-based computer.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
