Hi

It's never a good idea to upgrade like that hoping to get rid of any
problems your system may have. Try and sort those problems out first,
unless you are sure that you want to perform a 'clean' install of XP.
Upgrading with problems will probably carry those forward.

Check the following articles out:

"HOW TO: Prepare to Upgrade Windows 98 or Windows Millennium Edition to
Windows XP"

If you do want to 'clean' install XP, the following article by Michael
Stevens will help you. Don't forget to backup any data files beforehand
that you may need later on:
