I have Win95 on my first partition and W2K on my second. I need to upgrade my Win95 partition to W2K for testing without affecting my second partition since I use it for developping.
Can it be done? Thanks for your help

Yes, as long as you have enough disk space on your partition to perform an upgrade. Being in session in W95, insert the Windows 2000 Pro CD, and select "Perform an upgrade" instead of "Install a fresh copy", then go on. After upgrade, you'll see a boot menu allowing you to start the first or the second Windows 2000. Do not wait for applying the same Service pack on both partitions.

I did exactly what you said and W2K won't let me do an upgrade because of shared files (dual boot). Tried also to wipe that partition and make the second one active. No success. Thanks anyway!
