Re: Upgrading system in situ

yes, you can transfer from a XPPro to the partition, only drawback there, is
you require a XP Pro License for the device... this can get spendy... DVD
works for SDI as well. Make sure you set your Boot.ini correctly :-)


I would also recommend using Robocopy over XCOPY, as robocopy will try
again, if it can't pick up a file. Robocopy is available here:
