Can I upgrade Windows 2000 Pro to Windows XP Pro or do I have to do a clean install?microsoft sql server internet explorer
if your on windows 2000 your computer probably cant handle windows xp
its better if u cclean install,,,,dont 4get to back up ist b4 reinstall win xp
Yes, windows 2000 pro can be upgraded to XP pro. But, it can't be upgraded to XP home. Be aware that after the upgrade your administrator becomes a hidden account. But can be policied to show the admin account at logon. Or change the log in process, and type in the admin account name and password.
It it best to just back up the important files you want to save and transfer. For the upgrade is unstable after awhile. Do a full install, and just keep the files you backed up.
When i start my system it's giving some Disk IO error saying that WINNT/SYSTEM32/CONFIG/ file s missing.
Just put in ur Windows OS CD.
There would be an option Repair .
It would take you thru a process where it would ask you to replace some missing files. Just do it and incase it doesnt happen. You'll have to reinstall 2000 again

I was wondering how do I restore my old computer to it's deault state. I don't want any of the old files.
There is no restore in win2k. You would need to reinstall it. Put the cd in and boot up. When asked, tell it to overwrite existing files.
Restore windows 2000 default?microsoft xp internet explorer
I cant recall if 2000 has 'system restore' or not but even if it does, this wont get rid of your old files.
You can delete your old files assuming they are not system files or you can upgrade to XP if you have it.
If you want a default state, then you need to reformat your PC.
and you need to know how. The sourse below tells you how.
My dad bought a new computer, and would like some of his files off of the old one. He was running Win98, so I am trying to upgrade to Win2000 so I can plug in my external hard drive.
I went through the entire process, and it gets to one of the very last setup screens, and it comes up with shell32 can not be found, code 2. Then it goes to a screen that tells more info, which makes no sense to me.
Can I either cancel the download process (I can not get back to Win98 at all, it automatically goes to the Win2000 set up or download something on this computer and get it to the other one?
If these werent his wedding pictures, I really would not care this much...

I know I am going to get a load of thumbs down but I am trying to help you , make bootable image of the ISO file using Nero 7 lite.
I must state under normal cicumstances I do not support piracy, however seeing as Microsoft no longer offer support and you dont need to activate, things should be OK.
Hope you manage to get the Wedding pictures back.
Installing Windows 2000...shell32 error?default browser internet explorer
Hi, you may have a problem upgrading can delete you old files, however try to cancel the process and if you can still use the windows 98 and your pictures are still there then you shoould be able to use the external hardrive as long as you have windows 98 se which supports USB. If not then you could re-try installing win 2000 but im not sure if you upgrade wheter files get deleted or not as i alwaysdo a clean install.
Sorry couldnt be more help

You should have left it on 98, you could have transferred from there using a network card. You no longer have a complete 98 system so going back is not an option. I recommend you stop right now, remove the drive and fit it into another machine as a slave drive (set the jumper on the back for this) and see if you can still read the drive. If you can then copy the files over via network. I hope the copy of 2000 you have is actually an upgrade version, otherwise it may have overwritten the 98 install completely, leaving you nothing original.
I mean, can I install them on two different partitions?
yes you can dual boot - but you can't install 64 bit OS on a machine that isn't a 64 bit processor.
Can I install Windows 2000 and Windows Xp 64 bit on the same computer?windows xp themes internet explorer
Also, probably install Windows 2000 first, then XP. If you do it the other way it might screw things up.
Tried that with 32 bit XP and 64 bit XP on a 64 bit machine and it works. Win 2000 should work since it uses NTFS. The first two answers are both correct.
