spannersatcx,


  1. You do not need to format the Drive if you do not want to.
  2. With an Upgrade CD, all it wants is to see you have the software that makes the Upgrade Licence Valid. You can do a fresh install of WinXP on a blank Hard Drive. All the Install will do is ask you to prove that you have the required software. It will ask you to point to a location where the corresponding software is located, you can at this time put the Win98 CD in the Drive so it can verify. (Do not worry if you have only one Optical Drive, just remove the WinXP CD and put the other CD in to Verify and then put the WinXP CD back in the Drive.)
  3. Refer to above.
  4. I would install on a new SATA Drive if you have one.

Take Care,

Richard
