Yup - sounds like the better option. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com on behalf of Jon Tydda Sent: Wed 9/02/2005 9:21 PM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: RE: [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?

Can always just copy your personal files across and doesn't take *that* long to reinstall apps etc. Cheers, A -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jon Tydda Sent: Wednesday, 9 February 2005 7:24 AM To: Dba-Tech Subject: [dba-Tech] Windows 2K to XP 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?
