Is it possible to upgrade Windows2000 to XP Pro? I just tried installing XP
Pro on a Win2k machine and it said upgrade was not supported - I was
surprised at this...

Yes, thanks - it was an OEM version. I will have to buy an upgrade version.
I was curious that the 'install' still continued - but I stopped it when I
realised that I was doing a Dual-boot.
