CD key entered is invalid

[Guest]

I hope someone can help me! I put my Windows 98 SE CD in a different
computer (not in my computer at all), entered in the CD key and got a new box
saying the key is invalid! I tried many different ways to put the key in,
but get the same result. My ultimate goal is to start the windows 98SE CD,
at a prompt, enter in my Windows 95 CD (to prove that this is an upgrade),
and then ultimately put in my Windows XP CD. This is totally upgrade from
Windows 95 to Windows XP. I definitely do not have any of this on my regular
computer. Can anyone help?

Boot with Windows XP CD... Start the install... (Delete the partitions,
create new ones, go...)

When it asks for a qualifying product - put in your Windows 95 or Windows 98
CD and continue following directions.

Done - one clean install of Windows XP.
