I currently have the Win2k Pro Upgrade cd and an unable to install the o/s. When it wants proof of previous o/s I stick in my Win95 (osr2) cd and the Win2k installation fails to recognize that cd. Has anyone else experienced this problem? What are my options?

Thanks,

Mote

The only thing I can think of is that the Win95 CD might be an upgrade itself. I know the upgrade for 98 worked with the Win2k upgrade, but I don't know if the 95 CD I have is an upgrade or not.
Best thing to do: see if you can borrow a copy of 98.
