First of all, you need to make sure you have a copy of all the data you need to save. From there, I strongly recommend that you reformat and install clean, as the upgrade process can be pretty bumpy. Hopefully, you are installing win XP Pro, instead of the home version.
Good luck.

Haha of course.. I got myself a boot disk from this place http://www.onecomputerguy.com/software/win98_img.exe ... worked a treat at making a good boot disk...
but of course something had to go wrong... during formating, it found the hard drive of the laptop (which is an ancient Toshy Sat Pro 4600) has bad clusters! JOY... have left it to recover the clusters overnight and as I right this its still going...
but thanks anyways
That http://www.onecomputerguy.com/ was a very good web site. What I found refreshing was that there was no advertising and the "Tips and Tricks" section had great easy to follow instructions.
When I upgraded some computers from Win2K to WinXP Pro, there were imaging errors found during an Active Directory migration. What I had to do was reformat the hard drive. Just like the advice that you were already given.
Thanks and Good Luck,
Faith
