Clean installation of Windows XP upgrade version

[Sjohn]

I formatted my harddrive. How do I install the Windows XP
upgrade version? Every time I try setup it says it will
not run in DOS mode.

Boot from the XP CD, have your qualifying media ready..

Greetings --

Simply boot from the WinXP Upgrade CD. You'll be offered the
opportunity to delete, create, and format partitions as part of the
installation process. The Upgrade CD checks to see if a qualifying OS
is installed, and, if it finds none, it asks you to insert the
installation media (CD) of that OS. Unfortunately, an OEM
"Recovery/Restore" CD will not work for this purpose; you must have a
true installation CD, complete with the "\Win98" folder and *.cab
files, or the "\i386" folder of WinNT/2K.
