I currently have windows 2000 but now have xp, on running the set up it comes
up with error message 'no valid system partions were found'. Now at present i
have my hd partioned with the c drive there for windows and the d drive for
all my other programmes and applications etc, is the problem and if so what
can i do about it or should i just stick with 2000 and save any hassle?

Thanks

Is this after configuring your CD drive to be the first boot option and then
booting with the disk in the drive?
