Hello all,

I would like to do a clean install of WinXp Professional Upgrade edition.
I just need to know whether my win98SE upgrade disk will be accepted as
qualifying. I have winXP Pro upgrade on here at present which was
installed over the top using the 98SE upgrade disk as a qualifier then,
but if I reformat for a clean install - will it still be considered as a
qualifier when I am asked to insert a qualifying product? (Win98SE was
upgraded from Win95 which of course is a non-qualifier & besides I no
longer have the Win95 disk)

Thanking you for your assistance

Cher

Hi Cher, after formatting your hd, start the install from the xp disk
and your 98 disk will/should be accepted when it is asked for.
hope this helps.
