Hi,
I'm new to the forum and hope someone can help. I recently bought a used laptop with Windows2000 Pro installed. I don't know what work environment this laptop was used for previously. My question stems from the fact that I need to make an "Emergency Start Disc", and this machine does not have any means of copying to a disc, floppy or CD.
I was going to try to install a wireless adapter card but the instructions said they recommended having sp4 (Service pack 4) installed. I went to the Microsoft help center and they suggest making an "Emergency Start Disc" prior to upgrading anything that will alter my current registry. Of course without any copying to a disc capability availible to me, I am stuck. I either have to buy a RW drive or perhaps go to Best Buy and have them make me one(ESD).
Does any one know if there is any way that I can tell if my version of Windows might already have the sp4 upgrade already done?
Thanks for any help
