I have a Compaq Prosignia 165 that I am trying to upgrade to w2k. It currently has 98se installed and runs fine. I run the setup and the system processes everything. Gets though the incompatible report and finishes the coping files to hard drive to get ready for setup. At the end of that process it errors and says it can not read or write to the c: drive. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sounda like you have some bad sectors on the hard drive that is preventing the setup files to load
Run scandisk on the drive and see if the drive has any errors,if so run throughly check and fix option,then run setup again

Did that before starting the upgrade process. Started another newer computer and had the same problem. I then narrowed it down to a Palm USB system device that was loaded. Removed that device and it loaded fine. Kinda Wierd.
