Your air-guitar is missing some strings:
1. Check your computer vendor for Win XP drivers.
If Win XP drivers are not available -- STOP.
2. If your vendor will VOID your warranty if you install Win XP -- STOP.
3. It is not necessary to install Win 98 to perform an upgrade to Win XP
Early in the installation process, Win XP will prompt you for proof
of prior operating system -- simply plop your Win 98 disk into the CD drive
as proof.
4. As has been noted, you *will* have to remove the VISTA partition
schema from your hard disk prior to installing Win XP.
