8.5 Installing the Operating System Windows 2000
Do not follow these instructions unless you want to upgrade from Windows Me/NT
to Windows 2000 or if you want to reinstall.
The new installation or reinstallation of the operating system is accomplished with
the Recovery CD.
This CD contains encoded files which can only be transferred to a
SIEMENS SIMATIC programming device.
The transfer of information is made with the program OEMSETUP.EXE on the
CD-ROM, or after booting from the CD-ROM with the recovery function.
The installation of the operating system via the Windows 2000 setup program is
possible after transferring the necessary data to the hard disk. The Windows 2000
setup starts when you enter
HD:\>i386\WINNT.EXE
(HD: drive on which the folder I368 was transferred to).
Setup for Windows 2000 can be carried out on existing Windows installations via
the program HD:\i386\WINNT32.EXE.
Windows 2000 Installation Sequence
If a Windows operating system is already installed or if the programming device
has been started with a bootdisk, the transfer of the data takes place using the
program OEMSETUP.EXE. To do this, start the program OEMSETUP.EXE on the
recovery CD and continue the sequence as of point 5.
If there is no operating system installed, then please do the following:
1. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD drive and turn on the programming device.
2. To boot from the Recovery CD, press the ESC key at the BIOS message:
Press <F2> to enter Setup.
After completing the initialization a boot menu screen appears in which you can
select the device to be booted from.
3. Select “ATAPI CD-ROM Drive”.
4. Select “1. Boot for CD-Recovery” in the screen ”Microsoft Windows 98 Startup
Menu”.
5. You have to confirm the “SIEMENS End User License Agreement” with the F8
function key. Pressing ESC allows you to decline the agreement and cancels
the installation.
6. In the next screens you can select the components which are to be copied from
the CD to the hard disk. At the very least it is necessary to copy the folder
“I386” to install or setup Windows 2000.
