    I have MCE 2004 installed and working fine.
    I now have the media for MCE 2005.

    How do I initiate the upgrade?
    Do I just run setup and reinstall over 2004?

    Thanks,
    James

    Not the reply you were looking for but personally I always prefer a re-format and fresh install if I can, nothing like a good spring clean of the PC to get rid of all those odd bits and pieces clogging up the PC.

    I divided up the hard disk in my MCE PC in two, one 20GB for MCE and a 300GB partition for the video files. That way I can re-install MCE without losing the recordings.
