I am trying to flash win2k on to a usb stick and when I try to flash, the program I am using (Balena Etcher) says the iso isn't bootable. (I got the iso from here.) I tried the original iso, sp4, then the oem but it said the same thing for all of them. help please.

    Try Winsetupfromusb or Rufus instead. Windows 2000 discs are bootable.

    Another vote for rufus. I used to use that back in the day to install XP from. I would think it'd work with 2000, but I haven't tested it.

    I tried Rufus, the flashing went perfect, but when I put the usb in and booted from usb, it just sat there with a flashing cursor. I might try Winsetupfromusb next

    hmm. Yeah, try Winsetupfromusb. That's what I usually use unless I need UEFI.

    2 years later I now realized that I was using uefi and not legacy BIOS.
