Because my company is going from Windows NT 2000, to XP
Professional, I bought XP Pro for my home computer.
I "Ghosted" my old "C" drive to a new 120 GB hard drive.
I then tried loading XP Pro, but it did not overwrite NT
2000. Now I have NT 2000 AND XP Pro on the same partition
of the new drive. I tried to delete NT 2000 from the
drive, but the system won't let me. When I try to bring
up XP Pro, the system shuts down and re-boots. I got a
system error, C0000415, unknown hard error. Can someone
help? I can still use NT 2000, but would rather have XP
Pro.

Steve, take a look here
http://www.mvps.org/marksxp/WindowsXP/upgrade.php

From what I see it has to be Win2000 Pro in order to upgrade to WinXP
Pro.
