I recently had a errror installing my win 2k pro(after a drive failure). I
couldnt update as I got a failure message. I figured out what the prob was.
Microsoft apparently stopped support for ie 5 and you must manually upgrade
to ie 6. Then you can start the normal upgrade routine. This link will take
you to ie 6.

This is just 1 reason I only use win when I have to: LINUX RULES

Query:

What version of linux do you utilize (flavor and version, please) and what
do you do with it?

Did you do a Repair Install or a clean install?
