A computer is configured with two disk partitions identified as drive C and D. Windows 2000 Professional is installed on drive C. You need to install Windows XP Professional as the only operating system on the computer. When you are finished, the computer must have the same data files as before installation and must run the same applications.
What should you do?
1. Install Windows XP Professional on drive C in the same directory as Windows 2000 Professional.
2. Install Windows XP Professional on drive C, but in a different directory than the Windows 2000 Professional directory.
3. Install Windows XP Professional on drive D and uninstall Windows 2000 Professional.
4. >>Install Windows XP Professional on drive D and then run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard.
Explanation : You should install Windows XP Professional on drive C in the same directory as Windows 2000 Professional. This will cause the installation to run as an upgrade installation. Applications will be available automatically after running the upgrade. No changes were made to the data files, so they are still available. Because you upgraded the operating system, Windows 2000 Professional is no longer available, so all requirements are met.
You should not install Windows XP Professional on drive C, but in a different directory than the Windows 2000 Professional directory. This would install Windows XP Professional as a separate operating system, leaving Windows 2000 Professional in place. This configuration, two operating systems installed on the same disk partition, is strongly discouraged by Microsoft. Also, you have done nothing to make the applications available when running Windows XP. They would have to be installed separately.
You should not install Windows XP Professional on drive D and uninstall Windows 2000 Professional. This does nothing to make the applications available when running Windows XP.
You should not install Windows XP Professional on drive D and then run the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard. The Files and Settings Transfer Wizard is designed to transfer data and application settings between computers. Also, you would still have Windows 2000 Professional available on the computer, and you would still need to install the applications under Windows XP Professional to make them available.
