How to Enable Verbose Logging in Windows 2000 GUI-Mode Set-up?

On the distribution share or local hard disk containing the Windows 2000 files, locate the Hivesft.inf file in the I386 folder.

Using any text editor (such as Notepad), locate the following line in the Hivesft.inf file:
HKLM,"SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup","DriverCachePath",0x00020002,"%SystemRoot%Driver Cache" 

Below the line listed in the previous step, add the following line:
HKLM,"SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup","LogLevel",0x00010003,0xFFFF 
NOTE: The two lines listed above may be wrapped for readability, but are each a separate single line.

When you are done, the file should look like the following example. Verify this before saving the file to disk:
HKLM,"SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup","DriverCachePath",0x00020002,"%SystemRoot%Driver Cache"
; added the following line
HKLM,"SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetup","LogLevel",0x00010003,0xFFFF
; ends here 
HKLM,"SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSetupBaseWinOptions",,0x00000012 

Save the file and quit the text editor.
