Upgrading to XP

Cannot install, getting msg. this edition does not support updating... can
only be used for new computer. I currently have 98SE. Is there any way
around this.
Thx, Jan

In order to upgrade Windows 98SE to Windows XP,
you need to purchase a "Retail Version" of Windows XP.

It appears you acquired an "OEM Version" which
cannot upgrade but must be installed on a reformatted drive.
