You bought a full retail version of XP--it will install on a drive without a
system or it will upgrade a drive containing W95 or newer. If you do not
want to dual boot with Vista, you will need to remove it from the drive and
then install XP clean. Like one of the posters said, be sure to look for XP
drivers for your hardware before doing anything.

I've been considering articles either dual-boot of Vist and XP or removing
Vista and installing XP alone. On the eve of the June 30 deadline, I
bought
a copy of XP with SP2. I'm using a 7 month-old system with Vista Home
Premium
and am not satisfied with it. That version of Vista is not eligible for
the
down-grade offered by the manufacturer so I bought a package labled
Microsoft
Windows XP Home Edition that includes SP2. The box also says "For PCs with
Windows 95 or earlier, or PCs without Windows." The number 0804 Part NO.
X10-87162 is shown and the authenticity label includes the no NO9-00984.
I am concerned about whether this is the version I need. The statement
"For
PCs with Windows 95 or earlier or for PCs with out Windows" seems very
limiting and, for example, would exclude W98 or W2000. Can you tell me if
this is the version I need? Thanks for your help.
