That desire was much stronger on the consumer side which wasn’t really into NT 4 - though I do recall running W2K instead of XP for a few years.
Yeah, remember the primary disk controller was set in the registry. (And on an SMP system probably some specific SCSI.) You could fix that, but easier to reinstall. Of all the things to bitch about, this one seems strained.
