Installing Windows 2000 on an SD Card

A fun little project I did to resurrect my old laptop.
Windows 2000 was installed on a Gateway 200ARC with a 1.40GHZ Pentium M and 2GB of RAM using an SD card as its main boot volume.

Also: When using this SD card adapter, try to avoid using stand by mode when using windows 2000. This can cause file corruption and windows will force a restart (and display the hilarious "Unknown Hard Error" message) and run chkdsk on bootup. This wont render the drive unbootable but should be avoided.

And no, Windows 2000 does not have TRIM support =(
