Yes. In an existing system, just follow the steps.

 

In a Windows 2000 CD, please do the following:

1. Copy the contents of Windows 2000 Cd into the HD (e.g D:\WIN2K).

2. Open regedt32, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, then File->Load Hive.

3. Open D:\WIN2K\I386\SETUPREG.HIV

4. Type something there (e.g. NTsetup)

5. Apply the steps in the support article (Replace

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet with

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NTsetup\ControlSet001)

6. select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NTsetup

7. Click File -> Unload Hive.

8. Burn the content of D:\WIN2K to a new CD with the original boot sector.

That's all.
