Upgrading from 98SE and I need assistance

Hello, I'm considering upgrading from Windows 98SE to XP. I figured if XP is
being replaced by Vista and I'm way behind as far as OSs go, then it's time
to upgrade. I want to upgrade as is, and I read that the Upgrade disc of XP
is cheaper than the first-time Windows installation CD. However, I wanted to
know before I purchased it, if I would need my original Windows 98SE disc. I
already have Windows on my computer, but I no longer have the original disc
(98SE was installed so long ago, I don't know where it is). My computer
itself is capable and is over the reccommended requirements to run xp. Any
help?

No, not originally, but I would honestly pay the extra money and do a clean
install. First of all, there are alot less chances for any issues. Secodnly,
down the road, if you ever need to reinstall, you only have the upgrade
version adn you'll be stuck.
