Today, I was trying to upgrade my 98SE copy to 2000 Pro. I booted off the cd and began the installation. When I thought, "it didn't offer to let me upgrade," I aborted the installation.
Then, I booted into 98SE (had to select Windows instead of 2000 from the boot menu) and asked it to install. After a bit, it told me it couldn't upgrade a dual boot installation. So, I figure I need to delete the WinNT directory that's there and fix the boot.ini so I only see 98.
Here is my boot.ini
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="Microsoft Windows 2000
Professional" /fastdetect
C:\ = "Microsoft Windows"
Do I just need to delete the 2 lines that contain "WINNT" and "Microsoft Windows 2000?" Do I need a boot.ini for 1 system? I didn't see it on another Win98SE machine.
Is there anything else I need to do to be able to upgrade?
