Upgrading to Windows 2000
I have put this here because I can't find a Win 2000 newsgroup.
I am trying to upgrade my PC from Win Me to Win 2000 (base level); I have done it before without a problem. This time, however, the upgrade process has gone into a loop. All was well until the last set of operations - Performing Final Tasks. On this screen, it went through the first two items (Install Start Menu Items and Register Components) OK. It then proceeded to 'Upgrades program and system settings'; this was very slow, with a long pause about one-eighth of the way along the progress bar. Eventually, it proceeded to about 3/4 of the way, then it skipped the last two items and rebooted. Having rebooted, it re-started Setup. I have been through the process several more times - always the same. I tried starting in Safe mode - same (in fact, the screen looks identical in Safe mode, so perhaps Setup runs in Safe mode anyway). I have SP 4 (as an EXE file). I thought to run that but cannot get a DOS prompt - the startup screen has a MS-DOS choice but that turns out to be running under Me still and produces a 'missing file' msg. Help! -- Julian |
