Help with complicated upgrade

[marbleagle]

Hello
A few months ago I was running HD 8.02 on an old server with windowsXP. I have acquired an HP XW8200 workstation and installed 64 bit Windows 7 on it, hoping to use it for my HD setup. However, I had upgraded from 7.4 and my original discs are of that version. I tried running the 8.04 upgrade, but it wanted to see an existing installation.
Please advise as to where I can get the proper installer, or what version needs to be installed first to get me up to 8.04

Thanks

I believe you have to go 8/8.01 full installer before you can go higher....you can't upgrade an existing 7.4 install....

why not just go to 9 now, since you have the downtime?


are you running PCI-X cards? if so did you get any driver conflicts (yellow flags in device manager) or any code 10 messages?
