xp install over 2000,what's "clean"

[Guest peter]

i installed xp pro over 2000 with a boot from the xp cdrom and

formatting c,i did not delete the partition.

can xp in this way get errors because of this way of formatting the

2000 install?

or iow,can 2000 mesh up xp in this way of formatting?

 

thanks,peter

If you formatted the target partition then Win2000 is well

and truly gone. This is fine for a WinXP installation - it does

not require a previous Win2000 installation. Depending on

the exact version of WinXP you purchased, you may be

prompted for your Win2000 CD.
