BLEUCH!! A DARLO!!! ^^^
This place is really goign down hill:rolleyes:
Im not sure about the original problem, but wullie, its possible to install 2k "OVER THE TOP" as an upgrade, you wont have to do away with any of your current files or OS as long as you keep your partition as FAT32. However if you wish you can just format the lot and start afresh with 2k --- the decision... as they say -- is yours :)

Hi, agreed - I could do a clean win2k install, but would prefer to keep current files. Disk is currently FAT32 - will move to NTFS.

Is the disk partitioned??
A possible solution to this would be to move all of your files onto one partition, wipe the other and install 2k fresh onto that one. Also are you runnign identical language versions of both ME and 2k??

Windows Me to Windows 2000 Upgrade Is Not Supported (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;q272627)
More Information
A supported upgrade path from Windows Me to Windows 2000 is not available because Windows 2000 was released before Windows Me, and upgrade capabilities were not included. With many core changes such as the registry split, the removal of real-mode support, and new features such as Microsoft Windows Movie Maker and System Restore, Windows Me is not a candidate for upgrading to Windows 2000.
This might be a little misleading. I did this upgrade with very few problems. Your milage might vary.

don't upgrade
just install Win2k as a new install.
then you can Dual Boot, with is way more efficient.
and now you get to keep both.
if you don't want to keep WinME anymore. You can import all the stuff from WinME, then delete it.
