NBT boot floppy??

[UnknownPerson]

I work at a school where we will be installing 15 Windows 2000 workstation packages (the computers currently run Win98) and we only have one CD-ROM drive. We (finally) bought the licenses and will be needing to do this:

Open cabinet case
Install the CD-ROM drive
Install Win2000 Workstation
Removing CD-ROM drive
Closing the cabinet case

to every computer we own... THIS IS AWFULL!!!. Isn't there a NBT boot disk that will enable me access to our Win2000 CD from our NBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP) or alike (FTP??, maybe?) for me to put the source CD in ONE computer and allow them ALL to access the CD as a logical drive letter after boot??..

I know this is possible under Linux, but how would I (efficiently) use one CD-ROM to install to the others??
We bought 15 licenses, and maybe we will be buying more in the next three weeks.

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

Try out the network disk section at

http://www.bootdisk.com/

All you will need to do is create a share and map to it with a net use command. Don't forget to format the drive you are installing the OS onto before running the setup program.

--Or--

Map to the network share from win98 and run the upgrade to windows 2000. Not as clean, but just as easy to do... <A HREF=&quot;
