This brings up a problem I'm having....I have Win95 and want to upgrade but
it will not let me use the full version of Win 98. It says I'm required to
remove a previous version of windows but I thought I remember someone
telling me some time ago that you can install a new full version of Windows
over the top of any older one. Seems like I did this before with no problem.
How does one go about this if Win95 won't let you do this? I have the full
version of Win 98 and SE.

I thought that someone wrote last week that a fresh install can be done with
an upgrade disk?
I have an older computer that I want to put in my shop to store some files
on. I previously had win 95 and did an upgrade to win98SE. Today I decided
that I would do a format of C and reinstall. When I got booted up and I used
the win 98SE upgrade disk, it made me still use my win 95 disks first (which
fortunately I still have) then it continued with the win 98SE install. Is
this normal or is there a way around having to do a double install like
that. I have other win 98 disks that are not upgrades but I am using them on
other computers.
I used a floppy win 98 setup disk to boot with, is this where I went wrong.
I also have the Dos 6.2 setup disk that I think I used a few years ago when
win 3.1x and 95 was still around strong.
