Problems upgrading Win98 to Win 2000
I am trying to upgrade a windows 98 laptop to Windows 2000.
Specs: Pentium II 300 MHz, 128 MB RAM 4.3 gig hard drive with 3.6 gbs free.
I insert the CD and the computer asks me if I want to upgrade, I press yes and nothing else happens after that. I have tried running setup.exe manually, running it in ms-dos and copying all files to the desktop and running it from there. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Sounds like you have corrupted install files. Try a different CD.

There were just to many things wrong with the CD-ROM for me to troubleshoot it so I just loaded it up with Windows XP. The laptop won't be used for anything but remote radio programming purposes so I wasn't really worried about the speed. Thanks to you all for helping me, the only question I have is that I am relatively new here, my first week, and don't know how I should award points or what not so I can closs this case. Any suggestions/info?
