I am trying to uninstall Windows Me and install Windows XP.

When I run the Windows XP disk from my Windows Me, it does not give me
the option to 'Upgrade'. It only allows for 'New Installation'.

When I reformat my c: with my boot disk, I cannot run d:setup for my
Windows XP, it says unavailable for DOS, but it works perfectly well
to reinstall my Windows Me.

My Windows XP CD is a full version that came with my Dell PC for reintallation.

Help!

Hi!!


I think that you need to use the Windows XP Setup boot disks in your
formated c:, please visit the following page and follow the
instructions:

Other option is to use a bootable CD:

When I installed Windows XP on my computer which had Windows Me, XP
did everything.

I never reformatting the C drive.

I never uninstalled Windows Me.  Xp does it all.

Good luck

Thank you so much for your good rating and the generous tip.
