When trying to upgrade from 98 to XP, I get a message
that states, "You cannot upgrade this Windows XP, because
you have more than one operating syustem installed on
your computer."

Can anyone advise how to address this issue??

Thanks.

If you acquired an "OEM version" of XP, then you cannot
upgrade over Windows 98. Only "retail versions" of XP have
the upgrade capability. OEM versions can only be installed
on a freshly reformatted drive or partition.

Thanks. I have an upgrade version. I cited the exact
message that arppears. It apparently is an operating
system problem.
