Hello!
you may either run XP over the exsisting windows 98;which
will simply upgrade to XP or you may go for a clean
installation by formatting the exsisting HD.I prefer clean
installation.

First make sure your machine is adequate - a Win98 machine is likely to
have nowhere near enough RAM. You need more than 128MB, preferably 256
MB, together with a reasonably fast cpu. Then Read Gary Woodruff's
article on upgrading to XP at http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpupgrad.htm
