Can you install XP over 98 SE? Yes, the standard XP install will let you do that...
Should you install XP over 98 SE? No. When you do, Xp continues to the use the drivers that are already installed on your PC for most deivces. If there drivers are not XP compatible, it can cause all kinds of slowdowns, errors and crashes on you PC.
It is recommended that you format the hard drive and do a fresh install of XP rather than upgrade 98.
