I am trying to install windows 98 on a computer that
someone gave me and it wants the "upgrade version" of
windows 98. I have windows 98 on disk that I purchased.
How can I get around this and why is it asking for this?

Probably this PC has already been upgraded to Win98
SE and your disc is Win98 only. Your simplest method
is probably to format the disk and start afresh. See
method at http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/w98_restore.html
