Re: Hard Drive Crashed - FP Upgrade won't install



All the FP discs you have that are upgrades must follow an original 'clean'
disc, though you can install the original disc and then the latest upgrade.
In any event, you will need the original - full (OEM maybe) version in order
to upgrade.

Hope this helps,

Ed
