Trying without success to install XP Pro on a PC that runs W2K very happily.
Have run the upgrade check and no problems are seen. The computer is an old
Shuttle/AMD K6 and there is no BIOS upgrade available to make it ACPI
Compliant.
The install is fine until after the files have been copied over but at that
reboot point nothing further happens. This leads me to think that it is an
ACPI issue - does anybody have a work round for this? The PC is more than
capable of doing anything I want it to do in W2K but I have a spare unused
XP Pro full CD and I'd like to use it!!!
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
