download the .iso image and burn it to a cd and install from there. The
image is bootable.

That makes no difference except that allows to install into unused space on
drive. It will install on Win2k from .exe file as well just make sure you
put it on FAT partition, not NTFS. Question is how to boot it afterwards.
You have 3 options:
- Boot from floppy (then you can install either into FAT partition or into
unused space) - Boot using NT loader (you have to install into unused space then)
- Boot using 3rd party loaders (same as above)
- igor

Well… this is what I did, in regards to NT/QNX, (I assume will work with
win2k)
Partitionmagic to repartition your drive, (I gave QNX about a gig out of
10), installed the iso image, and I must say that your install is the
fastest one I’ve seen to date, previous record holder, Beos 4.0 with a ten
minute install, QNX coming in at 4-5 minutes.
Then from NT, get bootpart.exe and use it to add the qnx partition to the
boot.ini file at the root of c:\
HTH

You can also use the dd command to copy the boot block from a QNX parttion or a QNX within FAT/FAT32
installation to a file on the NT. Then set the Win2K/WinNT loader to start that file when QNX is
selected by editting the Windows boot.ini file. If your WinNT/Win2K is using NTFS you should copy
the file to a DOS floppy in order to get it from QNX to WinNT/Win2K. For Fat/Fat32 partitions simply
start Fatfsys (use just “Fatfsys &”, older Dosfsys didn’t support Fat32), then copy the file to the
appropriate /dos/x location. Note that drive letters may not match the way WinNT/Win2k calls them so
ls each drive in /dos/…to see which is the actual c:\ (Has boot.ini file)
If WinNT/Win2K is installed on another Partition, then do the following
to set an entry for QNX Boot in the WinNT/Win2K Loader (boot.ini)
-In QNX:
copy the first block of the QNX Partition to a DOS file
dd if=/dev/hd0.0t77 of=/dos/a/boot.qnx count=1 ibs=512 #on floppy
dd if=/dev/hd0.0t77 of=/dos/c/boot.qnx count=1 ibs=512 #on c:
copy the file to the WinNT/Win2K Partition
-In WinNT:
create an entry for QNX in the file c:\boot.ini
c:\boot.qnx=“QNX: Jenosys Bingo Host”
if you edit the file from QNX be careful: you need CR-LF at end of each line,
not QNX’s normal LF terminated lines.
-The QNX Loader Program is NOT required for selecting between QNX
and WinNT/Win2K, although leaving the QNX loader installed will allow
access to a QNX Partition should the WinNT/Win2K boot.ini file be changed
