if you have the windows xp software cd, u could do it in 2 ways:\n1:   boot up your system in win98se and then insert your winXP software cd. It would auto run itself. when it does, just click on install windows xp professional. this is the first option on the list. After clicking on this, use the recommended option by upgrading. THen follow all instructions. Mind u, it might take close to 60 to 70 minutes to complete. If u need additional help, call me on +2348029557816. My name is ONOme or bonny.

You can also upgrade from Windows 98. Boot from the Win 98 CD and format the hard disk, then install.

No.  You can always just get a new laptop with XP instead of upgrading to the new Vista.

1.  Buy Windows XP Upgrade Edition (recommend Professional, but Home edition is fine).  Pro:\n\nhttp://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=477481/sort_type=bottomline\n\n2. Pop it in your CD drive and boot computer.\n\n3. Follow prompts and answer questions that come up during setup wizard (simple).\n\n\n2b.  If your computer doesn't boot from CD or prompt to hit a key to boot, then you may need to set your CD as a boot drive in BIOS.  If that happens, you'll need additional instructions.  Post here.

If you feed the XP disk in while you have your Windows 2000 opened, it will ask you or have an option for you to choose upgrade.\nThen follow the prompt and questions to continue.

if it is a retail copy of XP, try contacting microsoft support, but if it is an OEM version (ie. came with the PC) you probably will have to contact the computer manufacturer or reseller.

A pentium 3 can handle Windows XP with enough memory installed. (256MB+) I'd recommend an upgrade as apposed to Windows 98. Win98SE is still a great operating system.\n\n(BACKUP ALL DRIVERS ONTO A FLOPPY, CD OR THE NET BEFORE STARTING!)\n\nIf you haven't been persueded towards an upgrade already, you can format Win2K by simply popping in the 98 boot disk (floppy), --> boot up ---> choose to load 98 without cd-rom support ----> at the command prompt, type format C:. This is called a low level format and will take a few minutes to completely erase the hard drive. It will ask if you're sure, just hit Y or yes which ever.\n\npop in the 98 boot disk (floppy), --> boot up ---> choose to load 98 without cd-rom support ---->at the command prompt type FDISK. Type yes to enable large disk support. Then you need to delete all partitions and create a new primary partition. Then exit and reboot.\n\nThis time choose to load 98 WITH cd-rom support -> Put the Win98 CD into the CD-ROM --> at the command prompt type SETUP. The Windows 98 setup program will start and you can just follow the onscreen prompts through the rest.
