Hello everyone I getting ready to upgrade PC#1 to Win 2000 Pro this weekend. I want to use the same internet connection I am now shareing with 2 Win 98SE PCs. We share an internet connection but not Files & printers. We are using a LinkSys Router with DSL. All 3 Pcs have LinkSys NIC cards. Do you see any problems, I may run into, & work arounds for the problems? I bought an OEM copy of Win 2000 Pro without a manual, so I am winging it as far as the install. Any help you can steer me to will be much appreciated. I built #1 in Jan 03 ASUS A7V333, 1gig PC 2700 RAM, XP 2200 CPU. OS came with SP3 CD but I was thinking of just installing the new SP4 unless I need to install SP3 first. Thanks, Mike

Hi jmmijo Thanks for the link. My PC crashed 1st thing this AM as I began the process of backing everything up. Win 98SE must have read instead of wasting time with a Dual Boot with Win 2000. Win 98 is getting the Big Boot Off LMAO See you all on the NT side soon, Mike

Hi Silver-Dagger Could you explain (make a slipstreamed version please? Also I can just set boot from CD in BIOS & use the 2000 CD in boot? Or just install CD & it will format & set up 2 20gig NTFS Partitions in my WD 40 gig drive. I would like to keep OS & programs on C: & Graphics + Web examples on D: I know it's no faster that way, it's just the way I have learned to work with 98. Yes Router is set for DHCP & I have all CDs & diskettes ready for hardware. I have been checking for Hard/Software compatibility. Looks like I'm in luck with everything. Great site you have here, I got the tip from SitePoint glad I found you all . Thanks for all your great help, Mike
