Installing XP home "Trouble"

[Guest]

I have been running win 2000 pro for the last two years. I am trying to install Xp home and I get an error message as follows:

Setup cannot upgrade your current installation to Windows XP. Your current installation of Windows is not a supported upgrade path. Setup cannot continue.

What is this all about???

Hi

You can't upgrade Win 2000 Pro to XP Home - you will need XP Pro:

Another idiot who can't read a box. Had you done so, you wouldn't have
wasted your money (no store will take back opened software - especially when
the fault lies with the purchaser!)

You will now need to go out and purchase the XP Pro upgrade - or wipe the
drive and install clean.

Dear Miss "P T" (Should be Miss "P M S")
I saw a response to another persons question earlier. Exactly how is your
response to the question (Remember the original question?) in any way
"Helpful"??! People come to this newsgroup for help. If you choose to
lecture, and THEN give advice, well, that's one thing...BUT, where's your
advice? You seem to have a pattern of abusive comments, and your replies are
in NO way helpful!! Read my reply TO YOU in the "Earlier" mail you
responded to labeled "Hard Drive Not accessable" by Dick Smith. GET OUT OF
HERE until you can get that "Chip" off your shoulder, and help the people
who have chosen this newsgroup for help...NOT ABUSE!!! Willie

It's seems perfectly clear to me. Win2K Pro _cannot_ be
"upgraded" to WinXP Home, only to WinXP Pro. Just like it says on the
boxes.
