You will need to buy the full version of Windows XP... not just the upgrade.

Do a complete format of the drive. Reinstall the XP upgrade. During the install you will be asked to put the Win 98 disk in to qualify for the upgrade. The install should go OK. from there, unless there is another problem.

Try reformatting your pc again. You probably missed out on one of the dos prompts.
