[dba-Tech] Windows 2K to XP

Yeah, I do too, but I don't have that option, it's the Upgrade version of
XP. Might be worth putting the new hard drive in, installing 2k on it then
upgrading to XP immediately... Then copying everything back onto it...
Whaddya reckon?

No issue that I know, however I always prefer a clean install if that is
an option..  

Can always just copy your personal files across and doesn't take *that*
long to reinstall apps etc.

Cheers,
A

Hi all

As you know, I got my XP upgrade kit last week, and I've just been
waiting for my new hard drive to arrive... I got it in today's post :-)

So, after I install the new drive and ghost the original to it as a
backup, should I just be able to whack the cd in and upgrade to XP with
no issues, or is there something I should know first?

I've installed 2K countless times, and XP a fair few, but never from an
upgrade... are there any problems?


Jon
