Cloning W2K

I recently had a bad cluster problem with a drive on my main workstation. I managed to repair it sufficiently so that I could clone a new disk with Norton Ghost 2002 and brought the system back up with no problems. Now because of another reason I am trying to reinstall W2K onto that drive (as an upgrade, not a new install) and I get a message saying that the existing software is not fully installed, click details to fix the problem. Details tell me to log out and log back in and all will be happy and I can continue with the upgrade. Of course this does not happen. It will take me many hours to bring a new drive up to the level of this one so does anyone have any ideas how to get around the problem?

Thanks in advance Dave

 

Have you tried formatting the drive? If scsi, do a low level,
then fdisk it (create just a small partition) and format it
with Win98se dos (for instance).

I find this helps to make sure you are working with
a "fresh" drive.

 

woops... ignore that... thought you were re-installing,
and not upgrading... /f
