i installed xp pro over 2000 with a boot from the xp cdrom and
formatting c,i did not delete the partition.
can xp in this way get errors because of this way of formatting the
2000 install?

thanks,peter

If you formatted the target partition then Win2000 is well
and truly gone. This is fine for a WinXP installation - it does
not require a previous Win2000 installation. Depending on
the exact version of WinXP you purchased, you may be
prompted for your Win2000 CD.
