*****WAIT do not listen to the knuckle heads telling you to reformat*******\nDo a repair installion and enter your legal key.\nYou go through the initial steps as if you were installing XP, at the Windows XP (Professional, or Home) Setup >press ENTER >Windows Xp Licensing Agreement >press F8 >Windows Xp (Professional, or Home) Setup >press R. This will repair your Windows Xp Installation files, and will not affect your programs, data, etc.

Your best option is to run a repair on your XP installation.\nMake the CD the boot drive, put in you XP installation disk and follow the questions. Once the setup says it  discovered a previous version of Windows take the option of doing a Repair. This will over install your XP and maintain a lot of your setting's

I don't know if this will apply exactly to your setup, but on a Windows machine (98, NT, 2000, I haven't verified that this carried over to XP)...\n\n1) Create the folder that you want to turn into a "drive" -- for this example let's call it "c:&#92;drive_z"\n\n2) Start Menu -> Run\n\nType...\n\ncmd <enter>\n\n3) Type the following line...\n\nsubst z: c:&#92;drive_z <enter>\n\nYou now have a drive letter Z whose root directory is the contents of c:&#92;drive_z \n\nIt will remain until you reboot your machine, or until you type\n\nsubst z: /d <enter>

Techniclaly, no, you need at least Windows 98 in order to use your XP upgrade.  But there are workarounds - for example, you'd have to install from Win 95 instead of from booting up.  See the second of the links below for details.

I had a friend who did the same thing, he put xp on and realized it could barely boot up. Just put in the win98 cd and let it format the drive during installation. Make sure you have all the drivers for 98 BEFORE installing. Find out what drivers you will need. That is the hardest part by far.

You shouldn't. I dont think you can. The processor isn't fast enough to support Xp and there isn't enoguh RAM to run XP. stick with 98 or get a Processor Upgrad and a RAM upgrade.

Wow.. i would NOT put windows XP on that machine.  Your best choice i think would be a stripped down install of linux or Win98 SE at the most Win2k.\n\nIf you want to upgrade the system. The first step would be to get the ram up to at the very least 256MB and the hard drive up to about 10GB.  This will give you enough install flexability for whatever OS you end up choosing.

Create a boot disk www.bootdisk.com , now insert the floppy with the boot information on it into your drive, boot the computer and use the following command: FORMAT C:/S \n\nOnce it is complete set your BIOS to boot to CD before the Hard Drive and install XP...easy!

Nlite is the best for customizing XP setup. It is a free program:\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/System/OS-Enhancements/nLite.shtml

This i would installing Windows Me and partition the drive and then install windows xp. It should install a boot loader. that is basically what you need is a boot loader to choose which version of windows you want to run at a certain time.

Insert the Windows XP CD and restart your PC.\n\nThis will format it and become a personal one.

Perhaps, i assume that you are going to format your PC (clearing everything in your Hard Disk Drive) to install or reinstall a Windows XP etc. If it is, then its not the way to do it.\n\nFor Windows XP, switch on your PC as usual, then just pop in the CD into your CD-drive. Then follow on screen instruction. When it ask about installing windows as "Upgrade" or "New Installation", select the "New installation". Follow the instructions and select the appropriate steps. There will be some loading of files and finally, your PC will reboot. Just follow the instructions.\n\nFor Windows 98, you will need the startup disk (diskette) and the CD. Insert the diskette in before switching on your PC. Follow instructions properly.\n\nMain thing here its not difficult, just need to read between the lines and follow instructions.... Good luck!

Windows ME is the worst OS i ever used.\nAnyway it cannot directly upgrade to XP. \nEnter the Xp Cd rom and restart the Pc.\nHit any key to boot from cd.\nFollow the steps.\nThere's a page you can delete the old OS.

yep, its that simple, but you must make sure your boot order is set to boot from cd before anything else (other than floppy) and then you need your product key when the install disk prompts you, then its fairly simple from that point on, make sure you create a partition and format it as whichever file system you like (usually NTFS for xp)  if you want 2 or more partitions, you should make them now and install windows on the C: disk
