upgrading to XP

[Edward Simpson]

earlyer today, i decided to upgrade my machine from windows 98 to XP.  the first time i tryed, it said i either diddnt have enough memory, or the disk was corrupt.  i tryed again, and it worked perfectly, but now, very few of my drivers work, and i cannot run installation files, i also have no sound (Error ID = 0xC00D11BA, Condition ID = 0x00000000).  Can anyone help?

Edward Simpson......  Visit the Windows update page ....let it scan your system then install all the available updates......I'm sure there will be some drivers . Be sure you install SP1 and SP2 and make sure you have the auto updates turned on .

let us know

Is your computer suitable to run Windows XP?

i had some problems installing xp a while back that were similair to yours.  turns out i had some bad ram and the instalation files couldnt be stored or something, new ram fixed the problem, but yours may be a little different

  I purchased a new Compaq computer with XP Home loaded on it  and when I tried to upgrade with my XP Professional CD, I got a  message the my HOME was newer then my PRO and would not let me load it.
Any idea how  I can get my XP PRO loaded??

I do not think it is possible to switch from Home to Pro by using an upgrade?

Since it can't be upgraded then how do I remove the HOME so I can install the XP?
