In addition to what Ron says, if there's no need to preserve the data

on the
machine, installing WinXP fresh, a "clean install" rather than an

Upgrade,
is a much better idea. Only thing you need is the original Win98
installation CD (assuming it's not some "Recovery" CD) to show to XP's
setup.

Even if the above isn't possible, due to the original system having a
"Recovery" CD instead of a real Windows 98 installation CD, I would

want to
reformat, "Restore" the original system, and then upgrade to XP from

that.

Which all assumes that your hardware will support XP in the first place.


Clean installs of 98SE, XP Pro. and Windows Vista are all on my machine.
The only upgrade is Windows Vista build 5600 to 57** build
