Greetings.
I would like to install W2K Server on a system at home, as a DC. It started
out originally as W98, which I used until I added W2K Pro (dual boot), and
have since completely switched over to Pro. W98 is on C:, W2K on D:. I've
just removed W98's line from boot.ini so I boot straight into Pro now. I'm
thinking I can't truly "clean" install W2K server in C: because it's the
active boot drive, with some Pro files there.
So before I remove the Win98 directory, ProgFiles, and MyDocs for good, I
thought I would throw my plan out to the group for anyone to comment on or
give me some warnings about. I don't want to mess up Pro, and would like to
get this right the first time. I do have everything backed up, several
ways. I've search around MS and read a bunch of Q articles about stuff, so
I think I'm about ready. I know I can't upgrade W98 to W2K server, but I
can install in a separate folder, which I want to do anyway. Basically, I
want a "clean install" without reformatting the entire drive, but convert
from FAT32 to NTFS, which is required for DCs anyway.
So, there's my plan in a nutshell. Has anyone done something like this
before? Anything I should watch out for? Any other advice or comments
welcome. Thanks.
Robert
