Hi everyone, I cant seem to be able to upgrade from
Windows XP Home to Windows Enterprise Server Edition
2003. Any one know why? It goes into setup and when I
click install it simply pops up a blank black screen and
erases it and goes back to the setup screen like I hit
nothing. I even tried the backdoor and went straight to
the winnt32.exe and still nothing happen. Its so weird.

Other thing is I cant seem to install Veritas Backup Exec
either it keeps saying my domain is wrong. but everything
is right.

Any ideas... Please email at address listed.

One cannot upgrade from a workstation operating system
(Windows XP) to a server edition. Either install Server 2003
on a different partition or drive, or reformat the XP Home
drive in order to install Server 2003.
