How to replace XP Home by Win2000 prof.?

[Peter]

Hello,

I'm using a XP Home system and I would like to change over to Win2000
professional.
If i start the W2K CD, XP tells me that the setup program is
deactivated due to the fact that W2K is older than XP.
What can I do, who can help, where can I find proper information?
Anybody experienced with this problem?

Regards and thanks in advance,

Peter

Hello

You have to delete XP home and do a fresh installation of W2k.

You must boot from the CD, and then do a fresh install.

There is no "rollback" to Win2K. To replace WinXP with an earlier
OS, you'll have to boot from the appropriate boot disk, format the
hard drive, and install. There is no supported downgrade path or
technique. Additionally, there is no supported upgrade or downgrade
path to migrate between a workstation OS and a server OS, in either
direction. A clean installation is required.

Simply boot from the Win2K installation CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and/or format the system partition as
part of the installation process. (You may need to re-arrange the
order of boot devices in the PC's BIOS to boot from the CD.)
