put the disk in before you start up, make sure your bios have your cd drive loading before your harddrive. Setup should be pretty self-explanatory from there. Or go through windows98 and hit "fresh install" not upgrade and it will take you to the same setup i believe.

They said without going through Win98.

To do that, as someone said before, simply insert the disc as the computers starting so it loads the installation menu. You then make the petition and instal it.

Also, some nifty advise, make 2 petitions. A 10gb one for WinXP and the rest of your drive for your files. This way if you have to reinstall windows again you don't have to touch your files! Clever ey?
