I'm considering upgrading from W2K Server to Vista Business. I'll be
using a new SCSI drive for the install. I have several questions.
Since I can't use the "Upgrade Advisor" where is the Vista HCL the
place to find ALL hardware compatibility issues. I'm sure it is, but
what about software? I have two drives with applications on them, the
system partition "C" and a application drive "E". Both are 18GB SCSI.
I'd like to backup those drives, C and D, to another drive "F". Then
disconnect all other drives from the system, split a 146 GB SCSI drive
into a "C" and "D" partition, install Vista on the "C" drive. Once
Vista is up and running, I want to restore the old "C" and "D" drives
into Vista. My major desire is to get the registry entries into Vista
and the applications back on disk. I then like to introduce my other
data Vista by plugging the other disk drives into the system. So, here
are my questions.
Can I backup my W2K server and restore it to Vista?
What will happen if I plug NTFS drives into Vista?
TIA
