i am looking at installing Windows XP Pro on my computer (from Win 98). The thing is though i have just built my computer about a month ago and cant be bothered starting from scratch again so i was gonna just do an upgrade install.
My question is -- do i have to remove all my existing drivers before i do the upgrade ??
PS -- if any of you didnt know windows 98 will be discontinued as of June/July this year

yes if its bootable it will boot up after a clean install but make sure your bios has it set to boot from CD ROM
