    I want to install 2k in place of XP Pro on the 1st partition of a HDD. When doing so, I get warning messages regarding the disk being new, erased or a incompatable O/S already there.

    I didn't go further since the 2nd partition has valuable data on it and I didn't want to take a chance. I'm doing this to troubleshoot a serial port issue with XP and have already imaged the 1st partition. The 2nd partition is very large and I don't have a place to put it.
    I have run Chk. Disc with no errors on both partitions.

    I also have a 2nd HDD, but I disconnected that durning this process. Could that have some effect?

    Ideas?
