i heard that an xp upgrade disk is the same as xp full
but when you install the upgrade it asks for the win98 or
winME cd just to check you have it, but does not need any
info off it. if you dont have the cd the only way it to
use norton ghost to make an image to cd-r before you
change you harddrive then transfer it to your new drive
once you have changed it, then do an over the top upgrade
hope this helps
