I had a non-validated copy of Windows XP on my computer, came with the
computer, so I bought an XP upgrade. I installed it by booting through the
CD drive and installed it into a different file. When I went to install all
the udates, it said that the site was not available. I tried a couple of
different ways, and still could not get it to work.

Another thing I would like to do is transfer all the documents and settings
to the newly installed XP.

Any suggestions??

thanks
 
XP Upgrade? What are you going to use as the qualifying
software/operating system? You still don't have a valid operating
system, so you need one of those first. You will need a an install CD
for Windows 2000, Windows 98 or Windows 95 before you have a legit system.

The OP didn't say if his XP upgrade was Home or Pro, I have both upgrade
and XP Home won't accept Windows 2000 or NT as qualifying OS for upgrade,
only XP Pro will.
