[Ham-Computers] RE: XP install question

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Oh, that's right.  I had forgotten about the "upgrade" (and the "repair" 
options on the install menu.  About the last three times I've had to install an OS 
it's been with a new system board and drives.  So the options weren't 
options.

Wonder whether it will work when going from W2K to XP?  I'm going to have to 
find out sometime this summer.
