Win 2k Prof+server+advanced server on 700 MB CD

[satish_halemani]

Hi,
i am working as desktop support engineer and during my course of work i came across one CD which completely baffled me.It had all the 3 versions of Windows 2000 (professional,server and advanced server)on only one 700 MB CD which was also bootable.when i checked the capacity, it showed a size of 1.15GB.I couldn't get the information on how it was done.
So could any one of please explain as to how it could have been done and also the steps as to how to do it myself.
All inputs will be highly appreciated.:confused:

Was this a home-made affair?

Could this have been a DVD?

Could there have been only one bootable installation, but the other installations were present as images. Which OS booted when the "CD" autoran?

No,this is in office.this was done to take a backup of the 3 versions of 2000.It wasn't a DVD,it is CD only.i have browsed on net regarding this but all i could get was creating a bootable CD with one OS with integrated service pack.i couldn't get the information on how to burn all 3 the versions on 1 CD.all are licensed versions

You still haven't said which version boots when you insert the bootable CD.

it's actually quite common; MS sends these CD's out to MCSE's all the time-i have 2 of them, and there is a way to make this multiboot cd's; goto to Tech-hints site Tech-hints all 2k boot cd (http://www.tech-hints.com/2kos.html#S), there is a plethora of info on creating these multi boot cd's.
