Re: AW: Win XP and TS2000i

Hello VK,

I went down this track, albeit with TS4, last year.

My opinion is: do NOT upgrade to XP from Win2000.

Do a clean install of XP on a new drive - the upgrade process causes
some strange things to happen. Since I did a clean install things have
been working Much better.

Summary: XP is great, but don't do the upgrade thing, do a clean
install.

Hope this helps.
