I'm trying to perform an in-place upgrade of Windows 2000
Adv server. When I run winnt.exe I get an error at the
blue screen text setup that says Internal setup error.
Setup could not find a place for the swapfile I have 12 gb
of free space. Anybody seen this before???

Thanks in Advance...

You may need to boot off the CD to do an inplace upgrade.
