This is silly that I have trouble replying

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 |
