Gaffer,
If your share is to my "server" or my old "OS", then I sorta get it! LOL!
If not, I do not comprehend.............. :(

I have an old server. It is a dual P3-1K Intel m/b w/2GB of ram. It
also has a U160 scsi 5-disk RAID5 (3 active, 2 hot spares) array
coupled to an Adaptec 3200S controller. This old soldier runs 24/7
and continues on very well and runs my LAN's A/V and WINServer needs.
The problem is that the current OS is Windows 2000 Server. Zero MS
updates since 06/2010! It is past time to move forward now.
Can I / Should I try and upgrade this machine to Windows XP Pro
(which I have/own!)??
(the machine is fully backed up ATM; believe I may loose very little
DATA)
?-I suspect I will loose any/all "server" functionality? Sadly, I do
NOT know how to analyze this probability ATM. ???
?-I believe I will end up (post conversion/upgrade) with just another
XP client on my LAN?
Have sought qualified, used Windows Server 2003 OS offers for the
past 2 years. The offers I see all look suspect to me, or, overly
priced!
Opinions welcome............. :)
