U should log surrounded by Windows 98 and Then Put the Cd room in Cd drive and Run xp SETUP from the cd in the Windows 98.Upgrading work likes this .After running the setup u can Choose between upgrading to XP or Installing a New XP ..Make it upgrade.Then everything will be fine
Use the XP disk to access the Hard drive hedge, then delete and create a unmarked one, then format the drive, later install xp
I had window 98 on my PC, I also used an XP-Pro upgrade disc to move to XP-Pro.
I inserted the XP-Pro disc into my PC rebooted and the disc loaded itself onto my PC (I just have to follow onscreen instructions) :-)
