Windows 2000 + Hyper-V

[Xsorovan]

Hey all,
I am trying to install windows 2000 in Hyper-v and everything is cool, except for the network driver. When I try and install the Microsoft virtual network driver it blue-screens. (And I kind of assume it wasn't designed for this version of windows)

I would use a newer versions of windows but 1. we don't have one handy at the moment and 2. It's from a rather, complicated print server and I'd like to just move it over and not worry about it right now. I'll untagle it later. (The box it's on now takes 15 minutes from reboot to working again...)

Any suggestions on how to get the virtual network card working would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have SP4 installed?

And that got it. SP4 was a pain to get onto a virtual machine that didn't have network drivers. It's there and working. Thanks.

(Aside: I mounted the virtual drive in another running virtual machine and copied the file over I needed and then remounted back in it's own machine and fired it up... Easier than doing it with hardware... just full of extra steps.)
