you need a full version of XP not an upgrade disk ... i would imagine u could keep 98 installed on an old harddrive and stored in a drawer until you need it ... if you need to install XP then just plug in da Second HD with 98 on it and let ur upgrade see dat one ...you dont have to install over the same HD i dont think ...

You need a copy of xb that is bootable. You can just boot the computer up with the xp disk in and use it to format your computer and install.
I used to do it the same way as you, i just hadn't realised that all i needed was a 'bootable' copy of xp.
