Im guessing formatting the HD then popping in the XP cd should do the trick. Although if you bought that comp with windows 98 it probably has crappy specs so itll run XP like shit.

yep, just find your XP cd

and you CAN use the cd key more than once , you goto do a phone activation and tell them what you are doing, its annoying as hell

because you cant understand them
