Hi,
Sure, you can do an XP upgrade very easily using a clean install. Just boot
from the XP upgrade CD, it will then ask you at some point to pop your w2k cd
in for qualifying purposes - it doesn't copy anything to the drive from that
disk.

Subject: [access-uk] xp upgrade question
Hi List,
Thanks to all those who responded to my earlier question concerning
ebay and xp.
Now, just one more question.
Several of you mentioned an upgrade package.
I presume I would need to install this upgrade while running windows
2000?
Also, what if I wanted to do a clean install. From time to time, if I get
problems or simply if I think I have too much trash on my disk, I reformat
it and reinstall from scratch, booting from my windows 2000 cd.
I presume that an upgrade package would not allow me to do this?
I know I could use restore in xp but I am not happy with this and would
rather have the option of starting again.
So, with this in mind, do I need to get the full version?
The reason for considering the upgrade is that I have a couple of
devices one being a panasonic kxp6500 printer and the 2k drivers are a
bit unstable.
Keith
