I want to upgrade a Presario 5BW220 from Windows ME to Windows 2000 Pro.
I want to do a fresh install of Win2k. I've searched for drivers using
Compaq's support as a guide. So far I have the following Win2k drivers:
Compaq Inet keyboard driver (Compaq site)
Latest Rompaq, if needed (Compaq's site)
Color Management Softeare (Compaq's site)
810/810e video chipset driver for Win2k (Intel's site)
ESS Allegro 1989 sound driver for Win2k (ESS site)
PCTel HSP Modem driver for Win2k (PCTel site)
I think this covers the driver's I need.
The specs of the system are:
667Mhz Celeron
192MB RAM
810/e Intel chipset
Audio (Built in)
Video (built in)
No NIC
40x CD-ROM
LiteOn CDRW
PCTel 56K Micromodem
My questions:
Does it look like I've covered all the driver's I need?
Will these driver's actually work?
Is Win2k even an option for this setup?
Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of?
Are any of these drivers unecessary for Win2k?
Am I missing anything?
In the event that I'm unable to use Win2k, I will need to reinstall ME.
I'll save those questions for later if I need them.
Thanks in advance for any assitance you can give me.
Regards.
