Applying SP4 to IBM6892

[W. Watson]

I'm trying to put W2K on an older PC, 500Mhz, 128M, IBM6982. I had no
problem installing for the CD by just booting up. However, when I try to do
this with the SP4, it doesn't recognize the CD. I looked at BIOS and see no
way to manipulate the CD to be looked at first. Comments?

I ran into the same problem when I installed W2K. What I found somewhere on
MS Knowledge Base was this:

1. Open Registry
2. Locate key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

There are two Values LowerFilters and Upperfilters. Rename them (e.g.,
LowerFilters-INITIALS)
Reboot and see if you can access your CD.

I have problems with using CD-R on my current Windows 2000 ... it really
depends on your CD player. Mine is an HP NEC-ND3550AG.

You write "I'm trying to put W2K . . . ". This is a WinXP newsgroup.
Might be an idea to repost in Win2000.general.

You might want to post to the windows2000 newsgroup. This one is for the XP
OS. Here is a list of MS public newsgroups. http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

True. Unfortunately, my browser window squeezed a little too much of the
title out, and I missed th xp part. Re-post I will.
