Hi, all
According to the latest issue on The NT Insider
(as well as the articles on osronline),
I decided to try to run the partially checked build
of Windows 2000 (Service pack 4)
I did as the article said
- Looked at the original names of NTOSKRNL and HAL
(in file properties)
- Took the CD with checked version of Win2000 SP4
from MSDN and found the checked versions of
NTOSKRNL and HAL (halaacpi, respectively).
Both files have the same versions like the free versions
- Copied into the System32 directory as NTOSKRNL.chk
and HAL.CHK.
- Added a line into the Boot.ini
When I select "Windows 2000 (Checked kernel) from
the boot.ini, loader says that it cannot load NTOSKRNL.EXE
Did anyone else tried the partially checked kernel on
Windows 2000 SP4 ?

Only time I’ve seen a problem of this type is when there is a naming
issue. For example, booting from a FAT volume and using a non 8.3 name,
or mis-specifying the name for FAT or NTFS. Clearly the switch is
working (otherwise it would have booted your original OS) so there’s
some reason it can’t find it using that name.
We do this all the time around here, but I will check and see if anyone
has done it specifically with W2KSP4.

To be sure, I repeated the whole procedure
(deleted all CHK files and copied them new from
the directory where I unpacked the checked service pack).
Now it works, so I had to make a mistake
which I’m not aware of.
I also remember that I played with uppercase/lowercase
names (NTOSKRNL.CHK vs. ntoskrnl.chk,
but I doubt it has some influence).
I think it will be even possible to use two
different sets of symbols (with a little
help of Hexa editor, changing
the name of DBG and PDB in the binaries)
