UPGRADE

[Guest]

Why does the upgrade not work?? It shifts the old windows installion to a
folder, inc all the installed programs. Its not an upgrade is it?

If all of the stuff went to the windows.old folder, then you did not perform an
upgrade installation and did a clean install over top of XP (or other Windows
Install)

Upgrade is only available when running the setup through the XP GUI. Booting
directly from the DVD will force you into a "clean" install.

If the upgrade option is unavailable in the GUI, you have another problem
altogether.
