Windows Xp

[Mr AnDy D]

How am I supposed to install this if I have windows 98? I keep getting this wrong operating system message.

[Cygnuz-Y]

Just insert the WIN XP cd in win98, then choose INSTALL XP, it will take a while then it will ask you to reboot, take the Win xp cd out, and the next time you reboot there will be a new menu for the existing OS, there choose "WINXP setup"...

Witch way do you want to install it, delete all or keep all your files.

[sparsely]

yeah. I would suggest using a 98 bootdisk. or you can use XP setup disks.
either way, you can get a setup disk from bootdisks.com.

WindowsXP will tell you that it can't be installed from a DOS prompt, but it's lying.

so, backup your stuff, fdisk, boot to floppy (with CD rom support, obviously) and type:
e:/i386/winnt or whatever you cd rom drive letter is instead of e:
