Dear fellows,
I have installed Windows XP Home Edition in the same partition where
Windows 2000 Professional was installed, in a different path/directory
(WINDOWS 2>). I did it because my computer was given to me as a gift with the
Windows 2000 already installed, and I did not have the administrator's
password, nor the person who gave it to me remembered it (it was in my
uncle's company, before he changed all the PCs for new ones). Thus, I was not
allowed to install or upgrade important programmes such as Norton Antivirus,
Internet Explorer and MSN. The problem now is that the Windows 2000
Professional is not working anymore (everytime I try to load it, my computer
is restarted).
I would like to know any or all of these three things: 1 - if anyone knows a
way of transferring a couple of programmes plus loads of important word text
files from the Windows 2000 to my windows XP, when they share the same
partition and computer (I already have tried to do it from the Windows
Explorer of my Windows XP, but I cannot find my files and programmes such as
WORD). 2 - If anyone knows a way of deleting the Windows 2000 totally after
accessing it and copying my files. 3 - If none of these procedures are
possible, if anyone knows a way of making my Windows 2000 Professional work
again, when it is not working possibly due to it be sharing the same
partition with the Windows XP Home Edition.
Kind regards,
Rodrigo Campos
