ibetheone Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 What are you smoking crack? You cannot install windows xp sp1 on win2k, its only meant for windows xp. This is not possible, you should install sp3 for win2k by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nartac Posted September 18, 2002 Share Posted September 18, 2002 thr33face, you are like trying to fit into size 12 shoes when you are only size 8. Both OS's are different and WinXP SP1 is designed only for WinXP not for Win2K. Ibetheone is right, you need to dl Win2k sp3 to update Win2k.

redvamp128 Posted September 19, 2002 Share Posted September 19, 2002 The only way I could see this really as being a problem is if you which I would never recomend doing this ...is installing them to the same partion ....where they share common files like Profiles/Program Files .....I have seen this done ....where winxp occupied a "windows" and Win2000 occupied "winnt" folder and the service pack would automatically without the use of switches try to install to the WINNT folder...
