I have XP upgrade and would like to reformat and reinstall. Must I reinstall WIN 98 first?

No need to install Windows 98 first.
Just insert the Windows 98 CD as qualifying media when requested.

Hi,
As has stated you do not need to do a full install of Windows 98. Here is steps on how to perform a clean install of XP you will get to a point it will inform you to please insert your 98 cd the machine will scan the 98 disk you then remove the 98 disk and insert the xp disk and continue with the installation.
1. Insert your Windows XP CD
2. Restart the machine
3. Press the key specified to enter your BIOS. In most cases you need to press Del to enter the BIOS setup. You should see a message on startup, right in the beginning, which says something like “press <key> to enter setupâ€. E.g. Press Del to enter setup
4. Go into either the Boot section, if you have one, or the 2nd option (should be something like “BIOS features setup†or “Advanced BIOS featuresâ€)
5. Change to boot sequence (should show as “boot sequence†or first boot device; 2nd boot device; 3rd boot device; etc.) so that CD-ROM is first
6. Exit saving changes
7. When you see the message to press any key to boot from CD, press any key
8. At the "Welcome to Setup" screen, press Enter to do a clean install
9. Press F8 to agree to the license agreement
10. Press Esc to perform a clean installation. (If this option is not available, skip to the next step.
11. Press Enter to install to the selected drive
12. Press C to continue if prompted
13. When prompted to format, select the option to “Format using the NTFS File System†and press Enter
14. Press F to continue with the format
15. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installatio
