I just got a new hard drive for my computer

Ok, fine. A new hard drive. Continue.

it had windows 98 on it,

Since when does a new hard drive come from the factory or the retailer
with windows 98 installed on it?

then upgraded to XP

So you "upgraded to XP", which (the way I read that) you installed XP on
the new drive.

I am having to reinstall 98 first

You just said that you upgraded (past tense) to XP.

and don't have the product code, I have them for xp,

But you said that

a) you bought a new hard drive
b) this new hard drive had (past tense) windows 98 on it
c) you then upgraded to XP
d) you now need to re-install 98, so you can re-install XP

What kind of convoluted story line is all this?
