Ok, I sm investing to much time in this, and could probably have done what I
am attemoting to do in about half the time it has taken me to get through the
phones and emails of various techs and Customer service Reps.

Here is the scenario. I work with non-profit companies who have tight
budgets if a budget at all. One of the ones I work with has put forth and
interesting problem.
All the computers are reassembled with collection of parts people donate to
the group. Several of these computers can be traced back to an original
install. It is possible in the world of smoke and mirrors to use a windows
xp upgrade CD to install XP. The issue is however, we got a few brand new
hard drives in and we are in our first attempt at Move the OS System from one
HD to the other. Here is the original order of O/S's
Win 2000 - Win XP Pro - Win Vista Business - Win Vista Ultimate. Except
for the Windows 2000 disk, which is a Retail (Not OEM) original disk, the
remainder are Upgrade Disks. Can any one think of a way to get the systems
to Vista Ultimate without installing the OS three times ?
New Hard Drive?? No Love from Vista ??
