Migrating a machine from Win2000 AS to XP

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.advanced_server (More info?)

I have a machine that is about 4 or 5 years old. It came installed with
Windows 2000 Advanced Server on it. However, the machine isn't used as a
server anymore. It's just a desktop machine and I'd like to put XP Pro on it.

So, I'm looking for some advice. I know the hard drives (there are 4 each
at 40GB) are connected via SCSI. I tried to use a boot disk, but I can't
access the C drive. Therefore I can't format C and start from scratch. Any
ideas? Thanks!

I think you need to press F6 at the start of the XP install to get scsi
driver install options

Apparently, I was using the wrong driver. Even though I know it's ARO-1302,
when I used the ARO-1130 driver, everything worked fine.

Thanks again,

Jeff
