That's what I had to do when I upgraded a single server site. From 4 to 5, then SP's then up to 5.5.

I have manuals etc. and thought all was going well. The process started and I could see the progress going through its routine. Currently, the screen has a white background and a blue box where before I could see the installation progress percentage completed information and cursor is now the famous hour glass--like the installation has stalled. My question to you all--is this normal or has the installation indeed stalled? The server OS is NT4.0 SP6. I do have the systemed backup up, but hope I don't need to use it. A prompt response would be appreciated.
