    Resolved Windows XP Home and Windows 2000 [**RESOLVED**]

    Hey i have just got my new laptop, and it is currently running Windows XP home. I want to install windows 2000 on it because i need to use IIS, which doesnt come with XP Home I put the CD in the drive and it told me that i cant downgrade to windows 2000. Is there a way i can get round this or do i have to reformat and install it cleanly.

    I currently don't have an A drive but will have access to one later

    Thanks
