I've always been able to boot from the discs, even in upgrade editions -- they just scan the harddrive for the old installation in the DOS installer.

Snoopy, I'm unclear why you seem to need win98 in order to install XP.
If your XP Cd doesn't boot, just go to e-mule or bitorrent (or whatever) and download a new one. It should only take a few hours depending on your connection. And since you already bought XP, you should have a working serial number so it will still be completely legal.
Then you can boot from an XP cd and won't have to bother with any of this win98 junk.Comment

But, I am ok now.
