| 293459 | 2004-11-20 07:36:00 | You can do a parallel install on the same drive then remove the original OS later. Obviously it's quite a bit more involved than a standard install and I'm not sure of the pitfalls involved, done it with win2k once which got me out of the crap but there were still lingering issues. If you search the MS Knowledge Base for it, there should be a truckload of info. Murray P |

| 293463 | 2004-11-23 08:54:00 | what about disk(1) ? | HadO (796) | ||
| 293464 | 2004-11-23 08:57:00 | You were advised this method was fraught with problems . Do a disk backup of the slave . Option 1 Reinstall Windows 2k taking the repair option followed by reinstalling Windows XP Option 2 Get your wallet out Critics of the Bible regard the truth as their most valuable possession . Therefore they are careful to use it as seldom as possible - Anonymous |
