My machines run great with W2000, I heartily recommend it. But I'm going to drag my feet about upgrading to Microsoft's successor to W2000 because with XP, every change you make to a hard drive or printer is stored in a file. Too many hardware changes, and the system won't work any more. The new Service Pack 3 for W2000 has this, too, so I will stay with SP2.

The best way to go I think is to install a new hard drive as the primary and move the present drive to the secondary position. Then do a clean install of W2000 on the new drive. Your data will still be on the second drive which now becomes a very fast backup device. Check with mfrs to see if they have drivers for W2000, I have never had a problem.
