I have Windows XP Upgrade and will be installing it on a new hard drive. The question I have is do I HAVE to install Windows 98 and then the XP Upgrade, or is there a way to just install XP?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
 
No dont isntall Win98 first but you need to have the disk handy as it will ask for it to verify that you have an os to upgrade from.
 
Correct. Just boot to the XP CD and run the installation. At some point it will ask you to insert the original CD from any previous Windows version just to prove you have it.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
