Whoops! I inititated an upgrade from W2K to XP by double clicking on
winnt32.
I was asked for the product key. I'm planning on upgrading several more
computers when I've done one comfortable and so I didn't want to have to
plug that number in all the time. And I didn't want to create an unattended
txt file. So I found a web page that expained how to modify the setupp.ini
file so I wouldn't have to enter the id all the time. It didn't work so I
used the example on the web page for the OEM install (as opposed to the
volume license install). That didn't work either. So I replaced my back up
setupp.ini file and tried again. This time, it asked for a code and also
kept the orange symbol saying it expected a code from a cd case. So,
stupidly, I entered our volume license key and started the install. Now I'm
stuck at the point where the computer auto logs in and says I have the wrong
product key (after it reboots after installing network drivers).
So, I can boot it up with a BartPE cd. But then what should I do (assuming
I can get it out of the install loop or to a place where I can change the
product key).
Shamefully asking for any and all help,
Jeremy
