Upgrading Windows NT4 WS to Windows 2000 Professional

Caution – The setup and configuration procedures for the SunPCi III program involve some steps that differ from the Microsoft upgrade steps. Do not use the standard Microsoft upgrade procedure provided on the Windows 2000 Professional CD or the installation will fail and your emulated C: drive can become corrupted.

Before You Begin the Upgrade

Caution – If you are using an external CD-RW drive with Windows NT4 WS, uninstall the device. The upgrade to Windows 2000 Professional will fail unless the device is removed and its software uninstalled. Reinstall the device after the upgrade.

Caution – Before starting to upgrade Windows NT4 WS to Windows 2000 Professional, you must update your Intel drivers. Refer to “Updating Intel and Linux Drivers” on page 115 for additional information.
