Guest Harlan Messinger Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 I'm trying to use the wizard for migrating my settings from my old computer Windows 2000 system to my new Vista Business system. On the old machine, I keep getting a message on the old machine telling me that I have to have at least Windows 2000 SP4. But I *have* SP4 installed! Why does it think I don't?
Guest Meinolf Weber Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Re: SP4 not being recognized as SP4 Hello Harlan, You can not upgrade from W2000 to Vista. You have to clean install.

Guest Harlan Messinger Posted March 5, 2008 Posted March 5, 2008 Re: SP4 not being recognized as SP4 Thanks, but I'm not upgrading Windows 2000 to Vista, and the migration tool claims that it *should* be able to do what I'm asking it to do.
