Upgrade Trouble 98se to XP Home

I cannot upgrade windows XP home from win 98se. It says Setup cannot
copy E:\1386\mfc42.dll to c:\windows\setup\mfc42.dll AND setup cannot
copy E:\1386\migisol.exe to C:\windows\setup\migisol.exe.

This is not a defective CD or a defective CD drive issue based on
numerous identical posts with problems with identical files. Already
went through all the MS KB articles. Both OS's are legit.

Could Norton Internet Security cause this? Can I upgrade from Safe
Mode?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

See this site:

Safe mode would be okay according to the site.

Disabling (if not entirely uninstalling) Norton would be best.
