Reinstalling Windows 2000 over Windows XP

[al929]

I have not been able to do this the message I am getting is:
"CD -rom os from an older version that the one you are presently using. Set-up functionality from this disk will be disabled.

How do I correct this situation.
Thanks in advance.

No you can't. XP is a step above 2000. One question is why???
After all XP is really an upgrade from 2000 the latter which is no longer being developed although Microsoft did surprise many with a small upgrade/bug fix.
Move over 2000 XP is here Take control of your life, not someone else's

I am running a DOS application that requires NetBui protocol and XP will not work with it.

You can replace XP with W2K but the only way I know how to do this is by doing a reformat. ====================================

If you want Netbeui it is on the XP CD as an unloaded extra. It can be installed but is not supported by Microsoft. Plenty of help here.

Otherwise it is a case of reformatting to get rid of XP then installing 2000. You could also explore dual booting XP with 2000.
