I am debugging a wdm driver on windows 2000 and now need to use the checked build of windows 2000.
I am running sp2. I have the MSDN checked build cd. It has both a checked build install and a sp2 checked install.
Which one of these, or both, do I install?
Do I need to uninstall sp2 first?
I only need the checked versions of the Microsoft USB drivers, is it posible to extract only these files from the CD?
I really don’t want to install the entire checked build if I can help it.

You can suck over just the drivers you need from the checked build, and use
them to replace your free build drivers. Don’t forget to disable that
plague upon developers called Windows File Protection. It’s easiest to use
OSR’s free SFPControl utility for this
(http://www.osr.com/resources_downloads.shtml) if you have done it already.
You probably also want to install the checked builds of NTOSKRNL and the
HAL. Note that you HAVE to keep these images in sync with each other (both
must be checked, or both must be free).
There’s a bunch of new documentation on the checked build in the XP DDK,
including detailed instructions on how to install just the checked kernel
and HAL. See the section “Getting Started… Building, Debugging, and
Testing a Driver… Using Free and Checked System Builds” (or go to
http://www.osr.com/ddk/checked_7njn.htm)
Service packs are cumulative. So you’ll want to install the pieces you want
from the SP2 Checked distribution. Note that only stuff that’s changed is
provided as part of a service pack. So, for example, if there were no
changes to driverx.sys in either Service Pack 1 or Service Pack 2, you’ll
need to get the checked version of this driver from the gold release.
HTH,
Peter

What do you mean “suck over just the drivers you need from the checked build” ??

In answer to your original question, you may simply copy the drvers that you
need from the checked build distribution, and use these drivers to replace
the original free ones.
Sorry if I wasn’t clear (There isn’t a “suck” utility or anything)…

‘Simply copy over’ might be a little less than a fully accurate
description of the procedure, as ‘the driver’ in question may be in a
.cab file and be compressed, depending on how your checked build is
currently constructed. So you may have to pull the driver out of the cab
and run expand on it, which really ‘sucks’
