Upgrading to XP w/SP2 from 98SE, via boot of CD

I am trying to upgrade to XP w/SP2 from 98SE, via boot of CD. The XP Setup
doesn't recognize a previous Windows OS on my comp, so it asked me to insert
a CD of it. I did, that of my 98SE Install CD. It recognized it, then asked
me to say yes to the usual agreement stuff, then searched for and found
partitions.....of which there was only one in the list.---that of Partition
(C:) . It said to highlight where I wanted the XP Upgrade to install, I
highlighted the one and only Partition listed there, that of (C:), and it
then warned me that if I install the XP there, I will lose the original OS
located there. That's what I want, right?? It's 98SE....so, I'm upgrading it.
Anyway, I didn't want to finish the install until I had a proper answer and
confirmation to this question of mine.
LOL~ Thanks for your help and prompt replies. :-) Appreciate it.
