Downgrading to Windows 2000 from Windows XP Pro
OK. I am trying to install Windows 2000 Pro however Windows XP Pro is already installed when I try to run the installation setup I keep getting "Due to the fact that you are running a newer version of windows the setup function of the CD will be disabled". I have heard many people say to insert my 2000 CD and boot from CD-Rom but I am having issues with that as well.
HELP!!! |

You cannot downgrade without reformatting. The 2000 CD is bootable, boot it, go into Setup, and start fresh. If it won't boot, the CD or the CD drive is defective.
