I hae a dual boot system (Windows 98 se on C:, and Windows xp Pro on D:. I
would like to upgrade the Win 98 se OS to Windows 2000.

How can I do this upgrade?

Thanks

Ben
 
Boot into Windows 98 and put the 2000 disk in - choose
upgrade. It should install the 2000 OS into what is
presently the folder that contains the 98 OS files
(probably the "windows" folder - unless you called it
something else)
If you already tried this and it failed, what was the
error message? - and are C: and D: two different drives
or 2 partitions on the same drive?
Also, why do you want to dual boot 2000 and XP Pro? Is it
so you can play with both? If so then wipe out the 98
from the system and start fresh. Upgrades from 98 like
this "can be" problematic...the machine will run better
with a clean install.(just a thought)

Just want to play with the system... I find that the Win 2000 disk won't let
me do an upgrade from 98 to 2000, since there is another OS on the computer,
just a clean install.

I assume this means that it will delete the previous Windows installation from
that drive, and will install win 2000 on it.

I do have some programs that were installed from Windows XP on the same drive
as Windows 98 (C:) was installed. Will this cause any problems with these
programs?

Thanks
