Comment: I want to upgrade from win 98 to win 2000, but sony does not recommend doing so with my sony vaio pc model PVC-E203. Sony says that they are not making drivers for this model to support win 2000. Is there a way that I can run win 2000? If I do an upgrade will I still need to update my drivers? Please help

Reply: (edit)I have this pc, and had no problem upgrading to 2000. I originally had a dual boot with the OS's mixed on one partition. Then I repartitioned and had a dual boot on seperate partitions. However, splitting 4.3 gig for 2 OS's was stupid, so I blew away the HD and installed 2000 fresh. This worked the best for me. I can't remember having any driver issues any of the times I installed 2000.

Reply: (edit)i had 2 problems after a clean install of Win2000. 1. the dvd drive stopped working. the drive is listed in hardware, but when I put in any cd and double click to open. it says "please insert disk...." 2. the APM (advance power management) doesn't work correctly. when I shut down is doesn't power down by itself. I have to manually hold down the power button to do a hard power off. please tell me if any drivers or bios updates are available. thanks
