The server CD will not allow an upgrade from professional 2000, and a clean install (windows style) will install server alongside professional, giving you 2 choices during start up.
I have had problems ever since with both, in fact in the end only professional would boot..... If I had to choose again, I would back everything up to CD's format and format the drive and install server onto a blank canvas.

By clean install does that mean re-formmating my harddisk? I've loaded on tons of programs so I really didnt want to go through it all again but it looks like I might have to!
