Replacing XP with 2000????

[Guest]

I have XP on my computer, and I am trying to replace it
with 2000. The computer won't let me run the setup
program because it says it is an older version. What can
I do??

You cannot downgrade without formatting the drive and then installing the
OS.

LOL, JAX

Greetings --

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.

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.)
