Installing windows error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

Hi Carlo:
That message means that you are using and Windows XP UPGRADE... you can
continue the installation inserting in any of the drives a CD or diskette
that contain a previous MS OS... like a windows 2000 or any other...

Cheers
JP
