are you trying a fresh install? and if so are you using a upgrade xp disk or the full version, if the upgrade version, and you do not have any windows on your system, you will need a windows install disk any version plus the upgrade disk you are loading on, the upgrade only needs to verify if you have a previous version it really does not care if it is on the hard drive or not. just know allot of programs and things will be missing, after you start it up, it will run just fine you will have to add all the goodies on your self later. if you have the win 98 disk you are better of to load it on first, the load xp over it, to get the best results.

It relies upon on your pc's hardware specs. verify with the homestead windows container on the save or Microsoft's information superhighway website and be conscious in case your pc meets the minimum criteria. If it does, then sure, you could improve, making use of the improve version of homestead windows from the save. I recommend going with XP or Vista (accessible ~Feb a million) if conceivable. merely follow the instructions coated heavily and also you need to no longer have issues. As continually even if, lower back up your records previously you commence. if you aren't any further a pc individual, take your pc to an area pc save. they could likely help with any variety computing gadget. even if, in case your homestead windows ninety 8 isn't criminal and also you copied it from some different person, then it really is illegitimate and also you do not qualify for the improve and it gained't artwork. besides, the container with the improve version of homestead windows will say improve on it on the save.

If you want XP then boot it off the disc.
If you want Windows 2000 then don't bother, it is designed for networks not home computing, and your niece will not thank you!
