[QUOTE="CaptSaltyJack, post: 386054, member: 29975"] Thanks for the tip! I wonder if putting the Win2000 CD onto a USB flash drive would also work? Another thing I found on the net: Apparently if you slipstream the Win98 folders Win9X and Drivers onto an XP upgrade CD, it will work. Thing is, I have Win2000. Maybe the same trick would work? (slipstreaming the WINNT and Drivers folders) Just in case anyone is questioning the legality of this, I saw another discussion on some other web site where a guy phoned a Microsoft tech and asked if it was ok, and the tech said although MS didn't support merging a previous Windows copy onto an XP disc, it WAS perfectly legal to do so as long as the person legally owns both Windows discs (which I do).
