Default upgrade to Xp pro from W98

I have upgraded about 10 computers in my office from W98 to XP Pro with no
problems. The last one I am doing gives me an error that the upgrade cannot
find the previous version I am trying to upgrade. W98 is in the Windows
folder, so I don't understand why it can't find it. It doesn't give me a
chance to BROWSE or LOCATE files. ??????

It was probably Win95 upgraded to 98.

Boot the computer into Windows 98 then insert the upgrade CD and
install it. There should be no problem.

Good luck
