Upgrading Issues for Windows
2000 and Windows XP Issues that you should be aware of before performing an
upgrade: You can upgrade directly to Windows 2000 Professional from
Windows 95/98 (but not Windows Me) and Windows NTWorkstation
Because of differences between Windows 9xand Windows2000/XP, you might find that some programs that ran well under Windows 9x
will not run under Windows 2000/XP Not only does Windows 2000/XP have new hardware
requirements, it also does not like a lot of Windows 9xsoftware!
Third-party disk compression applications are not supported byWindows 2000/XP
Third-party power management applications are also likely tocause problems with a Windows 2000/XP installation

(continue)1. Check out the Windows Marketplace Web site or run a
compatibility report using the Check Upgrade utility providedwith Windows 2000 Professional or the Upgrade Advisor for
Windows XP. These utilities generate a detailed list ofpotentially problematic devices and applications. You can runthe utility in both 2000 and XP as follows: Insert theWindows Installation CD-ROM and, from your current OS,open a command prompt or use the Start Run dialog box torun the WINNT32.EXE program with the
CHECKUPGRADEONLY switch turned on. The command linewill look like this: d:\i386\winnt32/checkupgradeonly (whered: is the optical drive).

Space You forgot to format the C: drive, or theres a bunch of stuff on the drive
already
