I wanna write my hard drive to zeros, install 98, XP upgrade, then vista ultimate over it. I think thats what I'm sposed to do anyway. My dad says I dont have to all that.

Is he right? I'm about to install soon..

r3dh3adkid

why not just install vista first and be done?

Puckbandit35

you dont have to write it all over with zeros

jus delete the partition 98 is on.....and install vista on that..

were you running 98 on your sig rig????

if not...if the computer you have is running 98..dont know how well vista will run on it...

Is this a Vista retail/OEM or upgrade?

I wouldnt do zeros for a reformat unless you are selling the hard drive or the hdd is giving you weird issues. Why not just install vista?

RickJS

CRAP. I seemed to have forgotten to mention this is vista upgrade.

well if the only solid non upgrade OS you have is 98 than uh. yes you have to do that. lol.

There's no need to install 98.

I am so lost, Rick what machine will you be doing this on? The machine your doing it on, does it have an OS on it. If it has 98 on it, just pop in vista.
