Nick, if you have the Win98SE CD then you won't have to reinstall Win98.
WinXP will just ask for the Win98 CD to verify. You can do a new install
with a Upgrade CD. Just upgrading your hard drive will not effect
Activation. So if the conditions that I mentioned are met go ahead with your
plan. Check here for more info
