Hi there,

I am trying to upgrade my PC to XP, but all I have
succeed doing is having both XP and Win 2K running, with
a choice of which one to open at startup.

XP would not upgarde from Win2K for some reason, so is
there anyway that i can wipe the whole C: drive and just
install XP ?

Cheers
Damian
 
Hi Damian,

If you were installing WinXP Home, then it wouldn't upgrade the Win2000
system. To start over, simply boot the CD, run setup and clear the existing
partitions and recreate, or format the ones you have before starting the new
installation.
